WASHINGTON — The Social Security Administration has begun processing and paying out some retirement claims for same-sex spouses, the acting commissioner of the agency announced Friday.
“I am pleased to announce that Social Security is now processing some retirement spouse claims for same-sex couples and paying benefits where they are due. We continue to work closely with the Department of Justice. In the coming weeks and months, we will develop and implement additional policy and processing instructions. We appreciate the public’s patience as we work through the legal issues to ensure that our policy is legally sound and clear,” Carolyn W. Colvin, the acting commissioner of Social Security said in a statement issued Friday.
Americans being treated like Americans how novel is that, but there is the Zimmerman's waiting to jump from behind a bush and fight this why you ask, because their lives are not complete unless they can make themselves feel better about themselves by ridding us of yet another non problem, that affects no one, if they invoke God that's dishonest they don't behave like people that worship the Lord but more like those that worship at the trough of bigotry.
It was not immediately clear what retirement claims are being covered and what eligibility criteria were being used to determine who would be eligible for such benefits. Specifically, it is not yet clear whether same-sex couples married where such couples can legally marry but who live in a state that does not recognize such marriages would be eligible. No immediate response was provided to an email seeking additional information about the change.
they will find a way to deny those who should qualify and find some asinine wording that the think allows them to say who is and isn't worthy of sharing their mates rights as any other married couple does without question. have you noticed how many things that were never an issue have been since 2008?
