I am on disability with MetLife and also social security. I just got married. Will that marriage effect my amount I get from MetLife?

Kathi, Congratulations on your marriage. A marriage should have no impact on your disability benefits from MetLife. If you have kids, then social security may pay you a benefit for your child and MetLife will deduct the benefit you receive from Social Security disability.
