"The Act did not by its terms make reference to gay or lesbian employees. Nevertheless, Judge Lawson found that, 'The historical background and legislative history of the Act demonstrate that it was motivated by animus against gay men and lesbians.' The decision relied in part on the Supreme Court's recent decision in United States v. Windsor, which struck down the provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act which had precluded federal recognition of same-sex marriages."

It also includes selected Code requirements that do not relate to qualification. It is very general in nature, and does not replace research on specific questions."

"An article in Forbes magazine alleges that the Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island paid kickbacks to placement agents. As most are aware, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) does not apply to governmental plans. So, what kinds of protections are available in the case of kickbacks from public retirement systems?"

"Because employee benefit plans are extensively regulated by federal law, this announcement means that even employers in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage will be required to recognize such marriages for many employee benefits purposes. However, the impact will depend on whether the plan is subject to ERISA, or whether it is a governmental or church plan exempt from ERISA. The [detailed chart in this article] sets forth areas in which the announcement will affect the operation of different types of plans."

"Weeks after the Windsor decision, the few federal agencies that have issued guidance have taken wildly disparate approaches.... There is a clear need for prompt guidance, coordinated among the various agencies. Moreover, unless the guidance takes the OPM approach (treating a marriage as valid if it was recognized by the state performed, regardless of the laws of the state of residence), employers can expect to have to undertake determinations of marital status far more complex than just determining whether the employee's current state of residence permits same-sex marriage."
