When couples face losing disability benefits due to marriage

My partner qualifies for disability benefits but if we get married we'll lose them because of my income, and we've been engaged for two years avoiding setting a date because we can't figure out how to choose between our relationship goals and financial survival.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The gap between legal recognition of partnership and economic survival forces impossible choices between love and security.
