Utah asks U.S. Supreme Court to delay benefits to married same-sex couples
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to extend a stay that’s preventing more than 1,000 same-sex couples from getting state benefits.
Utah filed its appeal Wednesday, arguing that benefits should be delayed while the larger issue of the marriage ban makes its way through the courts.
Utah’s same-sex marriage ban was struck down in December and many couples got married before the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a halt.
In May, a different federal judge ruled Utah must grant benefits – such as child custody – to those couples, but the decision was put on hold.

With all the different filings in Utah, one needs a spread sheet to keep track of them all.
