Hello,
I was wondering if it is unlawful for a company to deny opt out money that they offer to all eligible employees to married couples that both work for the company? As individual employees we each receive a benefit plan that includes Healthcare. We choose one family plan through the wife's benefit package, therefore not using the husband's benefit package. Yet, we are denied the opt out insurance money for not using the husband's Healthcare plan. Could this be considered discrimination based on marital status?
Thank you in advance!
