Note: If you can’t offer a benefit in a nondiscriminatory manner because of reasons outside your control, (e.g., there are no
insurance providers in your area willing to offer domestic partner coverage) you may be eligible for Reasonable Measures
compliance. To comply on this basis, you must agree to pay a cash equivalent, submit a completed Reasonable Measures

COMPLIANCE AUDITS AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
The City and County of San Francisco regularly audits
firms to verify that the answers on this form are complete and accurate.
Please see the Chapter 12B Equal Benefits Documentation Guide for a detailed description of compliant documentation.
To be certified under Chapters 12B & 12C you must submit proper documentation confirming that your firm has already
fully implemented equal benefits for employees with spouses and employees with domestic partners, and between the
spouses and domestic partners of such employees. In addition to a compliant CMD-12B-101 Declaration, you must submit
legal verification of your firm’s employee count and a copy of your compliant memorandum to employees that explains
your firm’s nondiscrimination and domestic partner benefit policies. Note: the memorandum is not a substitute for fully
compliant incorporation of domestic partner language in your firm’s benefit policies. You may also be required to provide
benefit documentation to verify that your firm does not discriminate in the provision of benefits. Such documentation may
include your employee handbook and confirmations from your insurance, union and retirement documents. Failure to
offer benefits in accordance with the San Francisco Chapter 12B Equal Benefits Ordinance may result in suspension of
your firm’s compliance status, financial penalties and/or the inability to contract with the City and County of San Francisco.
