Georgia Regents to vote on same-sex marriage retirement benefits | www.ajc.com

The state Board of Regents will consider Monday whether to recognize same-sex marriages for participants in a University System retirement plan.

The vote, scheduled for a Monday meeting, would amend the Optional Retirement Plan to comply with federal tax rules. After a Supreme Court decision last year overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, the IRS issued new rules requiring recognition same-sex marriages in some qualified retirement plans.
