What Federal Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage Means for Employee Benefits
Bond, Schoeneck & King [Guidance Overview] July 5, 2013
"Many plans were drafted to specifically incorporate the DOMA definition of spouse to avoid any confusion regarding the treatment of same-sex spouses under the terms of the plan. Therefore, plan documents will need to be reviewed to determine if the DOMA definition of spouse is reflected. If it is, an amendment to the plan may be required. With respect to qualified retirement plans, any required amendment generally will need to be adopted by the last day of the current plan year, unless the IRS provides for a delayed amendment due date."
