Not currently. However, this benefit was specifically enumerated among those cited in a February 11, 2013 memo from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta that would become available to same-sex spouses of US Military personnel no later than October 1, 2013, or sooner, should the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") be repealed or struck down.
