There is an assumption in SSA law that marriage conveys a responsibility for the other person. That is why spouses can get benefits from the deceased or retired husband/wife. So when she marries, the responsibility for her shifts from her parents to her spouse. And she is no longer a dependent of her parents. She then has the potential to be eligible on the spouse's record if she meets age (62) requirements.

She will have to decide if keeping the CDB benefits is more or less important than marriage. It is a choice.
That is a great explanation, Thank You!
