Reasonable Accommodation Procedures
Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities in the federal sector and requires federal agencies to provide reasonable accommodation to qualified employees or employment applicants with disabilities, unless doing so would cause undue hardship.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) fully complies with the reasonable accommodation requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. SSA is dedicated to improving the employment, retention, and advancement of qualified persons with disabilities by providing reasonable accommodation information and resources. To that end, SSA processes requests for reasonable accommodation and, where appropriate, provide reasonable accommodation in a prompt, fair, and efficient manner.
In addition, as required by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, SSA has established a written policy to assist agency employees and managers with processing requests for reasonable accommodation. SSA's policy contains a comprehensive explanation of reasonable accommodation procedures for submitting or responding to reasonable accommodation requests.
