Short-term disability plans include payable benefit of at least 12 weeks for childbirth

In accordance with Virginia law effective July 1, 2021, Anthem’s fully insured short-term disability plans provide coverage of a payable childbirth benefit for at least 12 weeks with no elimination period.

The benefit is included for all group sizes. Clients with Administrative Service Only (ASO) short-term disability plans may want to consider adding the same coverage in order to provide competitive benefits to their employees.
