California Insurance Equality Act

Prior to enactment of AB 2208, California law required insurance providers to provide benefits to domestic partners as dependents. The California Insurance Equality Act now requires domestic partners to be covered as spouses.^[5] The act also prohibits employers from asking for more proof of partnership of domestic partners than they ask of spouses.^[3] This Act should render insurance benefits payable to domestic partners more easily, without reference to inconsistent and confusing statutory and case law definitions of what constitutes a "dependent" under California law.^[6][7] The act also prohibits employers from asking for more proof of partnership of domestic partners than they ask of spouses.^[8] However, some types of employee benefit plans are exempt from the law.^[9]
