What is a recipient’s responsibility regarding persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)?
The recipient’s responsibility is to provide meaningful access to applicants and beneficiaries with LEP. Recipients must take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to their programs and activities by persons with LEP. The recipient’s obligation is to remove artificial barriers. The recipients must evaluate how a person’s inability to understand oral or written information provided by and about a federally assisted program or activity might adversely impact his or her ability to fully participate in or benefit from that program or activity.
