Public Employee Benefits Cooperative extends benefits to employees

Thanks to the good work by Resource Center and Fairness Fort Worth, the Public Employee Benefits Cooperative, which covers Dallas, Denton, Tarrant and Parker counties and North Texas Tollway Authority employees, has extended benefits to same sex spouses and dependent children effective immediately.
Earlier this week multiple state systems ranging from the Teachers Retirement System to the University of Texas Systems announced similar plans following the Supreme Court ruling legalizing marriage equality.
