No. The Home Depot says its plan does not cover IVF. That is the rule in its benefits summary for the national medical plans for US salaried and full-time hourly associates, which its 2026 change notice keeps in effect. Its Hawaii plans include IVF, limited to one cycle per lifetime, and its Kaiser Colorado plan covers it as Colorado law requires.

Who qualifies

Can part-time The Home Depot workers use it?

Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.

The Home Depot does not say on its public pages whether part-time workers qualify.

Confirm it yourself

Six things to ask The Home Depot before you count on it

A public benefits page is a summary. The plan document for your own plan and location is what the plan pays by.

  1. 1.What is the lifetime maximum, and do fertility drugs count toward it or have their own limit?
  2. 2.When does coverage start after my hire date, and how many hours a week do I need to keep it?
  3. 3.Do I need an infertility diagnosis, or prior authorization, before treatment is covered?
  4. 4.Which fertility clinics near me are in network, and what do I pay if mine is not?
  5. 5.What are the deductible, the coinsurance and the out-of-pocket maximum on the plan the benefit sits in?
  6. 6.Are egg freezing, donor eggs or sperm, genetic testing of embryos and embryo storage covered?

State insurance laws reach only fully-insured plans, and 67% of covered US workers are in self-funded employer plans, which set their own fertility benefits whatever the state requires. About 50% of employers with 500 or more workers now cover IVF. A large employer's plan is usually self-funded (80% of covered workers at large firms are in one), so what The Home Depot chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
