NEWS BLAST ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Article
  • The US Supreme Court just ruled this morning that same-sex couples have a right under the US Constitution to marry in all states.
  • Since same-sex marriages have already been recognized under federal law, this ruling may not have a significant impact on benefit plan operations.
  • However, some state law issues will likely be affected. For example, it will likely no longer be necessary to impute state income taxes on health benefits for same-sex spouses.
  • More to come soon once we fully analyze the opinion and states react.
