EBSA-2026-0232-0001, Grindr

Summary: Grindr, a private-sector employer, supports the proposed rule establishing "excepted fertility benefits" to expand access to family-formation services. The company argues for specific modifications to the rule, including adopting a modern medical definition of infertility, expressly including third-party reproduction (like surrogacy and donor gametes), and decoupling coverage for partners and gestational carriers from their own independent enrollment status.
