A state that formally recognizes a same-sex marriage as legitimate, such as Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, may have to provide COBRA for spouses who had a “qualifying event”. A state that also provides mini-COBRA alternatively to COBRA must also provide such a right to a same-sex couple as long as they live and work in state that recognizes the marriage.
