Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Under DOMA, tax exemptions for employer-provided health benefits are available unequally to same-sex and opposite-sex spouses. The Tax Equity for Health Plan Beneficiaries Act would make the law more equitable, but it should also extend the tax exclusion for dismemberment benefits to same-sex partners.
