It didn’t take long for Texas to notify state employees about how to enroll for benefits for same-sex spouses.
The Texas Employees Retirement System sent out emails to its employees on June 30 telling them that benefits enrollment for same-sex spouses of state employees begins today.
“Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on June 26, 2015, regarding same-sex marriage, state agency and higher education employees and retired employees eligible for the Texas Employees Group Benefits Program (GBP) will be able to enroll their same-sex spouses and dependent children of those spouses in the same coverages and services, and at the same cost, as opposite-sex spouses,” the email said.
