High Court Upholds Disability Benefit Rule On Marriage
The Supreme Court unanimously rules Congress may end disability child benefits when the recipient marries, while preserving benefits for two disabled spouses who both received them before marriage. Justice Stevens says the rule and its 1958 exception are legitimate, though two disabled spouses fare better than a disabled person married to an ineligible partner. The decision affects a relatively small number and reverses a Missouri district court ruling.
