UTSA updates benefits policy to comply with Supreme Court ruling
(July 1, 2015) -- Following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Friday regarding same-sex marriage, all benefits eligible UTSA employees and retired employees will be able to enroll their same-sex spouses, as well as dependent children of these spouses, in all benefit programs (health, dental, vision, life insurance) that are currently available to, and at the same cost as, opposite-sex spouses.
The plan amendment takes effect today. Under policies related to mid-year enrollments due to a status change, UTSA will begin enrolling same-sex spouses of benefits eligible employees and retired employees who submit the required application and presentation of a valid marriage certificate. Employees will have 31 days to enroll from this status change event. Benefits eligible employees and retirees who marry after July 1 may submit the required application and a marriage certificate within 31 days of the marriage.
Benefits eligible employees and retirees may also enroll their spouses and dependent children during annual enrollment, July 15-31, for an effective date of September 1, 2015.
