We previously discussed Cote v. Walmart Stores<\/a>, a class action lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts alleging that by denying same-sex spousal benefits to employees, Wal-Mart discriminated against the plaintiff, Jacqueline Cote, and other similarly situated gay and lesbian employees. <\/p>\n

Ms. Cote was a Wal-Mart employee in Swansea, Massachusetts from 2006 through 2012. She was denied spousal benefits for her wife, who had cancer. The couple was forced to pay $150,000 in medical expenses out-of-pocket.<\/p>\n

Last week, the parties settled the lawsuit, with Wal-Mart agreeing to pay $7.5 million to employees in the US and Puerto Rico who were denied health insurance for their same-sex spouses between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013.<\/p>\n

Wal-Mart modified its policy as of January 1, 2014, offering spousal health insurance coverage for same-sex spouses and domestic partners. Wal-Mart intends to keep this policy in place irrespective of the settlement.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Ms. Cote\u2019s wife, Dee, passed away earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
