I really don't like talking about political/personal stuff, but I think this is important.. I was just denied health insurance as a spouse (my husband's new job) because I couldn't prove I was married to my husband. Reason: new "federal policy". First I had to show a birth certificate, not a real ID or SS#, to prove my identity, and then I had to show my marriage certificate. Since the marriage cert. has my birth name, they don't consider it proof I am a spouse. Really. #USPol #healthcare

Clarification: I took my husband's last name so my driver's license, ss# and passport don't match my birth certificate.

@Anne_Montano_Art@mastoart.social Ask your hubb's HR department to straighten it out. If they will mess you around on day 1, it will only grow worse by day 1000. Marriage is all state jurisdiction. "Federal policy" can't say boo about who is married to whom.
