The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requires state TANF agencies to adopt methods for administering TANF
programs, like Families First, that ensure equal opportunity for persons with
disabilities in all aspects of the program.
These methods must ensure that individuals with disabilities are
afforded: ·
The
opportunity to benefit from TANF programs as effectively as the opportunities
the TANF agency affords to individuals who do not have disabilities. ·
"Meaningful
access" to TANF programs. In addition, TANF agencies are required to make reasonable
accommodations when necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of
disability. |
