Latest interpretation: Federal benefits will be extended (or not) depending on whether the specific Federal agency recognizes "State of celebration" (married in a same-sex-marriage State) or "State of domicile" (residence in a same-sex-marriage State).
Just when you thought they couldn't make it more confusing... or expensive... or time-consuming...
