Prudential Financial has released an in-depth look into the financial rights LGBT couples are now entitled to in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) last year.
“It’s important for same-sex couples who are already married or contemplating marriage to become aware of the many workplace benefits and financial-planning strategies that are now available to them as a result of the Windsor decision,” says James Mahaney, Prudential’s Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and author of the study, titled “Financial Planning Considerations for Same-Sex Couples After Windsor.” “These benefits have the potential to make a significant impact on the financial health of same-sex couples.”
