    SSDI is not means tested, so it doesn't change based on household income.

    Thank you for this information..
    Though, to answer another question,
    I currently get SSDI and I understand that my eligability will not be affected. However, will it effect the amount I get?
    Thank You

    I understand that if a persons gets married while on SSDI. The act of marriage does not affect the eligiability.
    However, does it affect the amount the person is currently getting?
    If so, how much? How do you determine that amount?
