WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Cory Booker reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling legalizing same-sex marriage Friday by calling on the federal government to ensure its policies do not conflict with the decision.

Booker (D-N.J.) cited Social Security payments, veterans' benefits, immigration policies and Medicaid as examples of federal programs that need to be reviewed following the court's decision to make sure they don't exclude same-sex married couples.

In a letter to Shaun Donovan, director of the Office of Management and Budget, Booker requested a study be conducted within 60 days.

"Where federal rules are deficient, they should be updated immediately, whether it's Social Security payments, immigration policies, or any other federal program or policy affecting married couples," Booker wrote. "We have made a leap forward. Let us pause and celebrate, but let us continue the forward march toward equality, justice, and a more perfect union."

Booker was among the Democratic members of the New Jersey congressional delegation who praised the court decision.
