What is required to verify my disability?
Unless the disability is obvious (e.g., a person who uses a wheelchair), the EARC requires medical/psychological disability verification documentation prior to engaging in the interactive process with an employee. The diagnosed condition must be determined by a licensed physician or other professional and may be submitted on the EARC Medical/Psychological Verification Form. The diagnosed condition must state the nature of the disability and how it impacts the employee’s ability to perform the job duties. For more information on medical/psychological documentation criteria, please visit the Guidelines for Comprehensive Documentation webpage.
