Court Rulings on Same-Sex Marriage in Wisconsin
June 23, 2014
On June 13 2014, the federal district court issued a stay of its June 6, 2014 ruling, when U.S. District Judge, Barbara Crabb, ruled that the ban on same-sex marriage in Wisconsin is unconstitutional. That stay will remain in effect pending further appeals. If you’re currently covering your same-sex spouse for State Group Health insurance and are subject to imputed income, there will be no changes made until guidance is provided by the Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF).
We ask for your patience as we await guidance from ETF. Until that guidance is received,, if you are recently married and/or want to enroll your same-sex spouse for State Group Health insurance, you must still create a domestic partnership. See Domestic Partnership for details.
See ETF’s statement on the Impact of Recent Federal Court Ruling on WRS for more information.
