Pennsylvania Offers Benefits to Same-Sex Partners

Beginning July 1, Pennsylvania will become the sixteenth state to offer benefits to same-sex partners of State employees.

The policy "provides full medical coverage for domestic partners who have lived together at least six months. Also eligible are children of same-sex partners and non-married heterosexual domestic partners."

"It was the equitable thing to do," David Fillman, chairman of the Pennsylvania Employees Benefits Trust Fund, said yesterday.
