[Guidance Overview]
Jan. 7, 2016
"Solely for federal tax law purposes, Obergefell does not require additional amendments to be made to qualified retirement plans or to health and welfare plans. However, [Notice 2015-86] provides helpful guidance in the event that an employer wishes to make discretionary changes to its plan and/or to allow employees to make mid-year cafeteria plan election changes in light of Obergefell -- and it reminds employers that there may be changes in the operation (as opposed to the form) of their health and welfare plans as a result of Obergefell."
