Same sex spouses who own or are considering the purchase of annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse should consult a tax advisor. To the extent that an annuity contract or certificate accords to spouses other rights or benefits that are not affected by DOMA, same sex spouses remain entitled to such rights or benefits to the same extent as any annuity holder s spouse No distributions are required Allows the spouse to continue the annuity contract as owner and annuitant.

Same sex spouses who own or are considering the purchase of annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse should consult a tax advisor.
