"On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that Section 3 of the Defense
of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. Social Security is now
processing some retirement spouse claims for same-sex couples and paying
benefits where they are due. We continue to work closely with the
Department of Justice. In the coming weeks and months, we will develop
and implement additional policy and processing instructions. If you are
in a same-sex marriage or other legal same-sex relationship, even if
you live in a state that prohibits same-sex marriage, we encourage you
to apply right away." Source: http://ssa.gov/doma/
