• age 18 or older, and
• unmarried and not related to you by marriage or blood in any way that would bar marriage, and residing with you, and
• financially interdependent with you, and
• involved in the domestic partnership for a period of not less than 1 year

You may also add your domestic partner’s children.  Documentation of the above must be approved by the RF. Please contact your campus Benefits Office if you are interested in enrolling in domestic partner coverage.
