@chrisgeidner we knew from the start that SSA went by place of residence, not celebration. What's new here?

@ecjacobs 1st, they're doing it, which is news. 2nd, they weren't willing to say so in their release celebrating payments earlier Friday. -
@chrisgeidner what was this release? I didn't see that. -
@ecjacobs The release they sent out this afternoon to get a whole bunch of good coverage: http://1.usa.gov/1cRx8k3 / http://bit.ly/1ckFbry -
@chrisgeidner thanks. -
@ecjacobs They didn't provide additional info on the phone and never responded to the email request they asked me to send when I called.

@chrisgeidner do you get the impression, are these "holds" temporary while the administration studies the legal issues? -
@msilverman They're holds, not denials, so of course it is possible. -
@chrisgeidner I noticed that, "hold" vs "deny" - hope you can get some decent answers Monday. Thanks for being on top of this late night -
@msilverman You're welcome.

@chrisgeidner@maddow What about Full Faith & Credit Clause? Does it not apply because states can choose to not honor other state's laws? -
@attempts_at_zen
@maddow It only involves a FFC/Sec.2 question if SSA requires adherence to state law for provision of the fed benefit.

@chrisgeidner Any word on civil union states? -
@crescat The "hold" language is interesting. Can't imagine they'd pay now, but no reason to think it wouldn't be put on hold, too. -
@chrisgeidner My quick legal analysis. Domicile rule probably req'd, but maybe should pay in civil union states too. http://www.volokh.com/2013/08/10/social-security-administration-takes-different-view-of-marital-choice-of-law/ … - 1 more reply
