Would my boyfriend lose his Medi-Cal?

My bf and I have been together for over six years and have not gotten married (or moved in together) because of the fear that he might lose his SSI benefits and Medi-cal. I am not able to support both of us (especially in this ridiculous CA economy) nor am I able to provide medical insurance for him (no insurance company will touch him) if he loses his Medi-Cal due to marriage. We also need his SSI because we would not be able to pay bills without two incomes.

Would he immediately lose his benefits (both SSI and Medi-cal) if we tied the knot?

It hardly seems fair. America needs to put the other special interest groups on the backburner and fight for the disabled for once!

Does anyone have any advice as to what we could do?

America has a lot of anti-marriage laws.

The best person to ask would be his medi-cal social worker. She will know the answer better than anyone on here.

If she/he says it will not affect his income, ask her to put it in writing.
