Emotional well-being
Find someone to talk to
- You and your family have someone who’ll listen and offer free advice 24/7 with Resources for Living. Just call 800-825-3555 or go online and video chat with a counselor for free. You can also see a psychiatrist or psychologist and schedule up to three sessions per issue per year at no cost.
- Resources for Living also offers an online therapy service called Talkspace that helps you connect with licensed therapists through text, audio, or video messages. This secure, confidential service quickly matches you with therapists based on your needs and location. Talkspace is provided as part of your three free RFL face-to-face sessions per issue per year. One week of texting is equal to one session. Get started at Talkspace.com/RFL where you can register and download the app.
- Participants in a Walmart medical plan can also use Doctor On Demand to talk or video chat with a mental health specialist for $0.
Get tips to relieve stress
- With Thrive Global, we’re here to help you with real tools and tips from associates and experts on dealing with the stress of the new normal. When times are difficult, information is power. So learn more about Thrive Global and other tools on One.Walmart.com/MyWalmartCares
Financial well-being
Get cash when you need it
- With Even, you’ll now get weekly access to part of your net earned wages with Instapay and access to Even Plus at no cost.
Get paid for unpaid leave
- You may now use available sick time to get paid for unpaid leave taken under the COVID-19 Emergency Leave Policy. And all associates can use their legacy sick time to care for an immediate family member who is ill or for their own illness. Learn more in the Interim Emergency Sick Time Policy.
Get money from your 401(k)
- If you’ve been financially affected by COVID-19, you can withdraw up to $100,000 from your 401(k) without any penalties. To fill out a request, you can download the Benefits Online App for iOS and Android or visit Merrill. If you have questions, check out the new 401(k) FAQ.
Get extra time to repay loans
- You can also delay payments on new or existing 401(k) loans for up to a year. Interest will still add up during this time and, once the delay ends, your payments will be slightly higher as a result. Remember, this is your own money, so you’re actually paying yourself back.
Get more cash in hand
- Taking care of you means taking care of your money, too. That’s why we accelerated payment of the Q1 MyShare incentive and provided special cash bonuses for all hourly associates.
Thank you for taking care of America. We’re here to take care of you.
