They can but there is no requirement unless the employer has workers in states with mandates. Five states require coverage: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
In the remaining states the choice is up to the employer. It makes sense to offer a short term option as most group long term disability programs come with long waiting periods before benefits begin - most are six months or longer.
Many employees can't lose six months of income. The majority of American workers live check to check.
