Legal Question in Social Security Law in Pennsylvania

If I receive an ssi payment of $674 a month and I marry somebody that earns $13.50 an hour and works 40 hours a week (approx $425 a week).. how much would that reduce my monthly payment? Your help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much!
