According to the Connecticut Department of Public Health, as of 2019, Connecticut recognizes the following types of legally recognized relationships for the purposes of health insurance and other benefits:
- Marriage: A legal union between two people of any gender, performed in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction that recognizes the marriage.
- Civil union: A legal union between two people of the same sex, performed in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction that recognizes civil unions.
- Domestic partnership: A legally recognized relationship between two unmarried individuals, typically of the same sex, who are committed to each other and live together in a long-term relationship.
Domestic partnerships registered in Nevada are considered to be equivalent to civil unions or domestic partnerships registered in Connecticut, and are therefore recognized by the state. This means that same-sex couples who are registered as domestic partners in Nevada are eligible for the same benefits and protections as married couples in Connecticut, including access to health insurance, employment benefits, and inheritance rights.
