By this point, you are probably aware that the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in the U.S. v. Windsor case declaring Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional.  But do you know how this decision impacts sponsors of employee benefit plans?  Jennifer Ross Berrian will be here to fully explain the Court's decision, related IRS guidance, and how the decision may impact you.
