SSI is based on total household income. Once you are married, you must report all household income to see if your new spouse would be allowed to continue getting SSI benefits.
It is almost always better tax wise to be able to file a married, filing joint return.
If "we" means you currently live together in NY, your 25000 and her part time income should be reported to determine whether she is eligible for SSI. Of course maybe you didn't mean SSI, which is a welfare program, but actually meant Social Security.
Probably. Download a 2015 blank tax return and prepare a fake one based on being married. Compare that to your real one and you will be close enough to have a good answer.

if you are living together now, he is committing fraud by getting SSI unless he is reporting your income as household income
if not, then assuming you each file separately he is only taxed on the other earnings he makes, SSI is not reportable or taxable
you merely report your $25K income and as a single person are taxed on $1455 of it, probably about $1500 in income tax
when you marry your combined non taxable income would be $20900 but he would lose his SSI
