The Social Supplemental Income unit of Social Security has marriage penalties cutting these people down to trying to survive on less that what a single person receives. This has also stopped people who have wanted to get married but won't because they are both disabled. My wife and I are that type of couple, she receives $82.30 a month and I receive $137.00. I also receive $840.00 in SSD for a total of $1,059.30 to last the month and pay bills and buy food.
