 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to allowing for
 certain disability benefits to continue in the event an individual who
 is receiving such benefits gets married

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Clause (iv) of subparagraph 5 of paragraph (a) of subdivi-
 2 sion 1 of section 366 of the social services law, as added by section 1
 3 of part D of chapter 56 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as
 4 follows:
 5 (iv) Married couples. In the case of a married couple living together,
 6 each spouse will be included in the household of the other spouse,
 7 regardless of whether they expect to file a joint tax return under
 8 section six thousand thirteen of the internal revenue code or whether
 9 one spouse expects to be claimed as a tax dependent by the other spouse.
 10 Provided, however, that for purposes of eligibility determination under
 11 subparagraphs five and six of paragraph (c) of this subdivision, a
 12 spouse shall not be included in the household of the other spouse if one
 13 spouse is disabled and receiving benefits as an unmarried individual and
 14 as a result of getting married would no longer be eligible to receive
 15 such benefits. For purposes of this clause, disabled means having a
 16 medically determinable impairment of sufficient severity and duration
 17 to qualify for benefits under section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(xv) of the
 18 Social Security Act.
 19 § 2. Subdivision 12 of section 367-a of the social services law, as
 20 amended by section 42 of part B of chapter 57 of the laws of 2015, is
 21 amended to read as follows:
