The Demise of DOMA and the Effects on Employee Benefit Plans

Speaker: Ronald J. Triche, Esq., APM, ASPPA, Arlington, VA


On June 26, 2013, the United States Supreme Court overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”).  As a result, same-gender married couples must be recognized by the Federal government (at least those that were married in the states that permit such marriages).  However, it is not clear which Federal rights and responsibilities of marriage will be afforded to same-gender married couples that reside in states that do not permit or recognize same-gender marriages.  This potentially disparate treatment of same-gender married couples based on their state of residence will have a direct impact on employee benefit plans sponsored by employers across the country, especially those companies that have employees that reside in different states.  Please join the Assistant General Counsel of ASPPA, Ronald J. Triche, Esq., APM, as he discusses the case, its impact on employee benefits, and the many questions left unanswered by the Court.
