When can I enroll?

- During Annual Enrollment, when all eligible associates can sign up or make changes.
- When you have a status change event, like marriage or divorce, a birth or an adoption, or changes in your employment that affect benefits coverage. Keep in mind you can only make changes that are directly related to the event. You’ll find details in the 2020 Associate Benefits Book with 2021 Summary of Material Modifications.
- If you’re enrolled in Medicare Part D, you’re not eligible to enroll in any Walmart-sponsored medical plan.
When it’s time, enroll online.

- Hourly associates: Coverage starts on whichever milestone comes first:
- The first day of the pay period following a period of working at least 20 hours per week for four consecutive weeks; OR
- The first day of the calendar month during which your 89th day of continuous employment falls.
