Washington Post - Federal marriage benefits will become available to same-sex couples in all 50 states, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Thursday, a change that follows the Supreme Court’s historic ruling that all same-sex couples in the country have the right to get married.
Lynch said that officials with the Justice Department and two government agencies that had been limited in how they handled benefits and same-sex couples — the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs — worked quickly to expand these marriage benefits to people who had previously not had access to them.
