Urges US Congress to enact legislation allowing individuals with disabilities to retain federal disability benefits upon marriage.

This Senate Resolution (SR 118) urges the U.S. Congress to pass legislation allowing individuals receiving federal disability benefits to keep those benefits after marriage. Currently, marriage causes many disabled individuals to lose Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, as federal law terminates payments upon marriage. The resolution highlights that the Social Security Administration (SSA) has acknowledged these rules as outdated and has taken limited administrative steps to address the issue. It specifically calls for Congress to change the statutory rules governing SSI and SSDI to prevent benefit loss due to marriage.
