That depends on what benefits you are referring to. Single persons usual gain benefits when they marry, such as employment-based health benefits or tax benefits. There are some benefits, however, that could be lost upon marriage. These are mostly needs-based government entitlement programs. Benefits could be lost when a new spouse's income is counted towards eligibility. In the United States, this is only true of programs administered by the federal government, or state governments where same-sex marriage is legal. Another type of benefit that could decrease upon marriage is social security. This is because the benefit structure pays a married couple less money than it does two single individuals.
