Effective Date for US Same-Sex Spouse

For all setup related to the US same-sex spouse feature, an effective date of September 16, 2013 is used.

In Tax Update 13-E, Payroll for North America delivered updates to the Taxable Gross Definition table that includes a new Taxable Gross Component ID SSS. The new Taxable Gross Component ID is used in identifying dollar amounts representing benefits provided to an employee’s same-sex spouse, which are excluded from U.S. federal taxable wages, but which continue to be included in the definition of taxable wages for state and local tax jurisdictions that do not recognize same-sex marriage. The Taxable Gross Definition table entries delivered in Tax Update 13-E have an effective date of 09/16/2013. The Benefits product uses the same date in the setup to match with Payroll for North America.
