The Obama administration has announced same-sex spouses of military veterans are now entitled to the same federal benefits as heterosexual married couples. The move marks the administration’s latest policy shift following the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in June invalidating a key portion of the Defense of Marriage Act, which had defined marriage as between a man and a woman. Last week, the IRS said it would recognize legally wed same-sex couples for tax purposes, no matter which state they live in.
