Hilmann v. Maretta, 569 U.S. 483 (2013), was a United States Supreme Court decision in which the court unanimously ruled that a Virginia statute revoking beneficiary status for spouses whose marital status has changed was pre-empted by the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Act (1954).

[1] Warren Hillman was a retired employee of the General Services Administration under the Federal Government of the United States.

The Fairfax County Circuit Court decided the case in Hillman's favor, awarding her the FEGLI benefits.

[2] Jackie Hillman then appealed to the Supreme Court, which heard the arguments on April 22, 2013, and decided on June 3.

Associate Justice Sotomayor in the majority ruling affirmed the Virginia Supreme Court decision, arguing that the order of precedence set by FEGLI sought to honor a federal employee's choice of beneficiary.
