Protecting the Rights of Qualified Individuals with Disabilities: Technical Assistance under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 for State, Tribal, and Territorial Child Welfare Agencies and Courts
The purpose of this Information Memorandum (IM) is to inform state and tribal title IV-B and title IV-E agencies of a final rule issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) that implements Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). HHS’s final rule includes regulatory provisions relevant to child welfare agencies that receive Federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These regulatory provisions clarify how Section 504 applies in the child welfare context. This guidance focuses on the Section 504 final rule and does not cover all disability rights laws applicable to child welfare entities.
