No, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits do not increase simply because a recipient is married to a non-working spouse. SSDI benefits are based on the individual’s work history and contributions to Social Security. However, if the disabled individual qualifies for Supplemental Security Income (SSI, which is needs-based), their benefits could be affected by their spouse's income and assets.
