Now that the Marriage Equality Bill has passed in New York State, How do I enroll my spouse if I get married after the new laws effective date on July 24,2011?
Previously, if you were married in a jurisdiction that allows same-sex marriage, you were able to enroll your spouse in the CSEA EBF. That remains the same now. To enroll your spouse, download the CSEA EBF enrollment form and complete the applicable sections. When sending the form to us, please include a copy of your marriage certificate as proof of the location you were married. You should consult your tax advisor as to how the benefits provided to your spouse will be treated for purposes of Federal and New York State income tax.
