Domestic Partners
State law allows, under specific conditions, for persons
in the State of California to register non-marital relationships
with the Secretary of State. Having obtained registration of the
relationship, the law allows the registered individuals to obtain
health benefits under the standard eligibility rules of the Public
Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). The California
State University (CSU) elected to adopt the provisions of this law
offering health care coverage (medical, dental and vision) for domestic
partners of CSU employees and annuitants subject to the Secretary
of State approval process and the CalPERS' acceptance process.
