Effective June 28, 2016, County law prohibits a new application for group insurance benefits for domestic partners of County employees and retirees. Per Bill 16-16, anyone who is currently in a domestic partnership or has applied for group insurance coverage for their domestic partner prior to June 28, 2016 is legacied in and benefits will continue. Employees/retirees who dissolve current domestic partnerships lose their grandfathered status and will not be eligible to add another domestic partnership in the future.
