What benefits can a qualified domestic partner get?
Domestic partners may qualify for the same survivor benefits available under the Plan to a surviving spouse if the partners have filed a Declaration of Domestic Partnership with either the Fire and Police Pension Plan (Plan) or the State of California (the State). Same sex couples whose legal union was formed outside of California should check with the Plan to find out if the qualify to be treated the same as a State filed partnership based on Family Code Section 299.
