As an individual with a severe physical disability, what documentation must I provide when applying for a job?
If an individual competes for an appointment through the regular application process just as most non-disabled applicants must do, then no documentation is required beyond what is outlined in the vacancy announcement. Individuals with severe physical or psychiatric disabilities as well as those with mental retardation are also eligible for special appointment consideration where, if eligible, he or she may be appointed without competition. If he or she does apply non-competitively on the basis of their disability, he or she will be required to provide proof of their disability and a certification of job readiness. See the Hiring People with Disabilities fact sheet for additional information.
