    We are setting up our benefit plans, and our company offers domestic partner benefits. According the the training, we have two options. Setting up one plan that includes Domestic Partner, or setting up a sepaate plan for domestic partners. Seems like there are pros and cons to each.

    Does anyone have any experience with this, and would you recommend one plan or two?

      For health, dental and vision, we treat then like any other dependent. For all other benefit type(like LIFE), we created a separate plan. Our premium statement also reported Domestic Partner as a separate column.

        Don't you have to set up a separate plan because of the deduction for the domestic partner having to be after-tax - how do you split that out if you included it with other coverage options?
