While some states force
homosexual marriage on the whole of society and pass
unconstitutional non-discrimination laws, the United States Office
of Social Security does not even recognize homosexual marriage
unions.
The office of social security, has the following to
say about homosexual marriage:
Definition of Marriage
and Spouse for Social Security Purposes
An
individual whose claim for benefits is based on a State-recognized
same-sex marriage or having the same status as spouse for State
inheritance purposes cannot meet the gender-based definition of
husband, wife, window or the number holder (NH), including one who
is divorced.
Under the Defense of Marriage Act, enacted by
Congress in 1996, the word "marriage" means only a legal union
between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word
"spouse" refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a
husband or wife. Therefore, for all benefit purpose, SSA does not
recognize such individual as the spouse of the NH.
