Ensuring Equal Opportunity Access for Persons with Disabilities: The Contractor must also ensure equal opportunity access for persons with disabilities. This includes ensuring that communications with applicants, participants, members of the public, and companions with disabilities are as effective as communications with people without disabilities. Contractors that do not provide persons with disabilities equal opportunity access to programs may risk violating prohibitions against disability discrimination in the Rehabilitation Act of 1978, the American with Disabilities Act(ADA)of 1990,as amended,and SNAP program regulations. DO7 published revised final regulations implementing Title Il and Title III of the ADA on September 15, 2010. These regulations are codified at 28 CFR Part 35 "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services" and at 28 CFR Part 36 "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities". In accordance with the implementing regulations, Contractors must provide auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure effective communication and equal opportunity access to program benefits for individuals with disabilities. The type of auxiliary aids and services required will vary, but a Contractor may not require an individual with a disability to bring another individual to interpret, and may rely on a person accompanying a disabled individual only in limited circumstances. When a Contractor communicates with applicants and beneficiaries by telephone, it must provide text telephone services (ITY) or have access to an equally effective electronic telecommunications system to communicate with individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or hearing impaired. Contractors must also ensure that interested persons, including persons with impaired vision or hearing,can obtain information as to the existence and location of accessible services, activities, and facilities.
