    Default Getting Married, SSDI and Assets

    I see posts here saying that getting married while on SSDI wont be hurt with spouses income. But what about the combined assets over $2-3000? Is that just an SSI thing?
    Im 28 & want to get married soon. Im disabled an on SSDI & SSI (very little). Also work a very small paying part-time job.
    Questions:
    1. I imagine Ill lose the SSI? (not worried about that)
    2. Will SSDI count her assets or combined?
    3. Will increase or decrease of job income effect SSDI, or that just an SSI thing too?

    SSDI benefits are not means tested. There are no resource limits.

    Your benefits could be affected if your earnings exceed the income limits, which change each year.
