Allows individuals receiving disability benefits to continue receiving them if they marry, provided they meet certain criteria.
New York S01758 amends the social services law to ensure that individuals receiving disability benefits can continue to receive them if they marry, provided they meet specific eligibility criteria. The bill specifies that a spouse will not be included in the household of another if one spouse is disabled and receiving benefits as an unmarried individual. It also mandates that the individual continues to pay a monthly premium if they marry someone not eligible for medical assistance. This act takes effect immediately.
