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

This resolution urges the U.S. Congress to change federal law so people with disabilities do not lose Social Security benefits when they marry. Currently, marriage automatically terminates Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments for many disabled individuals, preventing couples from legally marrying without financial hardship. The resolution highlights that only Congress can amend these marriage-related rules, which are set by statute, and references the SSA’s 2024 acknowledgment of outdated policies. It is a procedural request, not a binding law, calling for legislative action to align disability benefits with marriage rights.
