In light of the Supreme Court ruling on DOMA and Prop 8, CalHR has announced a special open enrollment period for same-sex spouses and their dependents, effective immediately.

Per CalHR:

Effective immediately, employees who married a same-sex spouse prior to or following the US Supreme Court decisions on June 26th, 2013, or who were in a Domestic Partnership but married following the Federal Court decision, and wish to add their spouse and/or their spouse’s dependent children, have the opportunity to enroll their same-sex spouse and eligible dependent children onto their dental and/or vision plan(s). A special one-time enrollment period is now in effect through December 31, 2013.
