Summary
Anthony Gonzales Equality for Survivors (AGES) Act
This bill establishes an alternative method for meeting the nine-month marriage requirement for certain survivors to receive benefits under the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance benefits program. Specifically, the bill applies with respect to a marriage that would not have been recognized by federal law before June 26, 2013 (the date upon which the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples are entitled to federal benefits).
