Domestic Partner Benefits

[Guest pentex]

Anyone have stats on what percentage of U.S. employers offer domestic partner benefits?

Is the trend still on the rise?

I don't have any stats, but I can tell you that I work for a large TPA who has clients all over the country. We definitely are finding that more and more clients are adding benefits for domestic partners. Incidentally, I see that your location is NJ. We have more clients from NJ with domestic partner benefits than any other state.

You might want to be cautious in using any statistics from the Human Rights Campaign. There is some track record of distortion.
