MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from McMahon v. Califano, 605 F.2d 49 (2nd Cir. 1979):
7 An exception to this rule of termination was added by the 1958 amendment to the Act, 42 U.S.C. 402(d)(5), which provides that benefits are not terminated by the beneficiary's marriage to an individual who himself is entitled to social security benefits. See note 4, Supra. The constitutionality of these provisions was upheld in Califano v. Jobst, supra.
