- If you are an hourly full-time associate and work in California, Hawaii, New Jersey, or Rhode Island, you are not eligible for Walmart’s short-term disability coverage because the state in which you work has legally mandated disability plans. You may still be eligible for the maternity benefit under the Walmart short-term disability basic plan.
- In Hawaii, New York and New Jersey, Sedgwick will forward claims to Lincoln, which administers the statutory plans in these states.
If you work in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington state, or Washington, D.C., you are eligible to participate in a Walmart short-term disability plan. Sedgwick will reduce your disability benefits by the amount you are eligible to receive from your legally mandated benefits. You should file a claim with Sedgwick in addition to filing with your state or locality within 90 days of the date your disability begins.
