Federal lawmakers consider domestic partner benefits
Alyssa Rosenberg reports at Government Executive:
The 2009 Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act (H.R. 2517) would grant the partners of gay and lesbian federal workers access to the full range of benefits currently available to the spouses of heterosexual employees. Those benefits include enrollment in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and full coverage of relocation costs. The legislation also would require the partners of gay and lesbian employees to abide by anti-nepotism and financial disclosure rules, which Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the bill’s sponsor, pointed out her long-term partner has been exempt from throughout Baldwin’s political career.
