Were I have worked, required a marriage license for spousal coverage and birth certificates (adoption papers) for coverage for children.
What about states that allow for common-law marriages not requiring formality? Texas does not require (though it permits) a couple to submit paperwork stating they are in a common-law marriage to the county.
Otherwise, in Texas as long as 1) there is an agreement to be married, 2) the couple holds itself out to be married, and 3) cohabitation (even for only one day), a common-law marriage is recognized.

Here is another scenario. What if John and Mary get divorced. Neither remarry since they are ugly losers. But Mary realizes that insurance would cost her 100 a month. She offers John 50 a month to keep her on his insurance. The insurance company would never know.
