It depends on if you're referring to Social Security as in SSDI, which is for those who have worked and put in a certain amount of credits into the Social Security system, or if you're referring to SSI, which is income based only. Not sure about the other states, but here in California, where I live, they have cut SSI every couple months, and it seems they will continue to do so, due to budget problems. I had SSDI and a small SSI supplement, which due to the cuts, I lost the SSI part completely, which caused me to lose my Medi-Cal (our version of Medicaid). To my knowledge, they have not made any cuts to the SSDI part (not sure if they're unable to do so or if they just haven't decided to do so). However, because I did lose my SSI, and therefore my Medi-Cal (which helps pay for Medi-Care), I am ending up losing some of my SSDI, (almost a hundred dollars), because now I have to pay for Medi-Care myself, since I no have the Medi-Cal. So, in a sense, you could say, at least in CA, that SSDI was lowered, but one time only, not more every month. SSI is another story, however. Every few months we are all shocked again to find that it has been cut yet again, by anywhere from 5 to 37 dollars.

If you get married will your social security change?

No. Benefits do not stop when you get married. Also, you both continue to receive your check each month. In the event of death of one spouse, the surviving spouse will receive the greater of the two amounts for the rest of their life. For example, if a husband passes away and his social security income was higher than his wife each month, she will then receive a check for that amount instead.
