Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, Publix is expanding spouse coverage for its health, dental and vision benefit plans to associates who are married in any state where same-sex marriages are legal, regardless of the associates state of residence, reads an internal memo from the supermarket companys corporate communications department. Publixs benefit plans offer coverage to legal spouses, and until recently, the states in which Publix operates did not recognize same-sex marriages as legal unions.
Until now, Publix did not offer insurance benefits for same-sex couples, legally married or not. The majority of the total Fortune 500 66 percent offer equivalent medical benefits between spouses and partners, according to the nations leading LGBT-rights lobbying group, Washington, D.C.-based Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

Too bad my teenager couldn't get hired there this summer. They're known for being flexible in their scheduling so HS students can keep up sports, band and other activities.
