On what basis and for what reason can a program participant file a discrimination complaint?
The bases for filing a discrimination complaint with BCR are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age (over 40), disability, ancestry, veteran status, and citizenship/participant status (WIA program only). The reasons for filing discrimination complaints generally involve the fact that the person was denied or delayed any service, aid or other benefit provided under an ODJFS program, be subjected to segregation or disparate treatment in an ODJFS program, be provided services using different rules to decide who will get assistance, be limited in the use of buildings, rooms or other space in a way that denies individual participation or access, and accessibility and reasonable accommodations for disabilities.
