A life partner joined in a marriage or civil union, including valid common-law marriages in a state that recognizes common-law marriages.

A person of either sex who has a committed relationship with an eligible Marvell employee may qualify as a domestic partner. The Marvell employee and domestic partner must:

• Live together (for at least 12 months)
• Not be related to a degree that would prohibit marriage in the state they live
• Both be at least 18 years of age
• Not be married or legally separated from anyone else and have not had another domestic partner within 12 months prior to enrolling for benefits
• Be financially responsible for each other
• Be each other's sole partner and intend to remain so indefinitely

If you select Domestic Partner coverage, any employee contributions for your Domestic Partner and/or your Domestic Partner's children will be deducted on an after-tax basis. In addition, the fair market value of coverage provided by your employer on behalf of your Domestic Partner and/or Domestic Partner's children will be considered taxable income to you. In some states, the amounts may not be subject to state income tax if the domestic partnership meets state criteria. This may amount to a significant increase in income taxes withheld from your paycheck. For more information and for the calculation based on your benefit selections, please email myHR@marvell.com.
