Yes, however it is important to understand that the primary/secondary payer rules change. Per Medicare, if a domestic partner is entitled to Medicare on the basis of age (turning age 65) and has group health plan coverage based on the current employment status of his/her partner, Medicare is the primary payer of services. The OEBB active coverage pays secondary to Medicare.
