Effective August 1, 2025, HRS Disability Services is changing its name to Medical Leave and Accommodation (MLA). The team will report to Ann Monroe, Director, Benefits & Medical Leave and Accommodation. With this change, and the restaffing of recent vacancies, employees making applications can expect more timely customer services and responses.

Medical leave and reasonable accommodation requests are often connected to an employee’s benefits, and having both the MLA and Benefits teams managed within the same unit will allow for a smoother process, expanded universal services, and enhanced case management for participants and the university community.

As part of the reorganization, the contact email, HRS webpages, and relevant Workday reference guides have been updated.

How do I contact the new Medical Leave and Accommodation team?

The contact email for Medical Leave and Accommodation is hrs.mla@wsu.edu.

As we update the existing resources, you may find references to the old hrs.disabilityservices@wsu.edu email address. Messages sent to this email will automatically forward to the new address. From August 1, 2025, employees should use the new hrs.mla@wsu.edu address.

For information about WSU’s leave programs and related forms, visit the new Medical Leave and Accommodation home page.
