Practices to keep persons with disabilities at federal agencies

Posted on October 1, 2024


With the 51st anniversary of Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released a new report, “Retaining Persons with Disabilities in the Federal Workforce“.

Based on the report’s findings and current promising practices, the EEOC recommends that agencies make sure that they have:

  • Required reasonable accommodations (RA) procedures.
  • Required procedures for processing personal assistance services (PAS) requests.
  • Procedures for processing PAS requests that their employees and applicants can find on the agency’s public website.
