Against any individual in the United States, on the basis of race, color, religion, s*x, (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, s*x stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity), national origin (including limited English proficiency), age, disability, or political affiliation or belief, or,
Against any beneficiary of, applicant to, or participant in programs financially assisted under Title 1 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, on the basis of the individualโs citizenship status or participation in any WIOA Title 1โ financially assisted program or activity.

Providing opportunities in, or treating any person with regard to, such a program or activity; or
Making employment decisions in the administration of, or in connection with, such a program or activity. Recipients of federal assistance must take reasonable steps to ensure that communications with individuals with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. This means that, upon request at no cost of the individual, recipients are required to provide appropriate auxiliary
aids and services to qualified individuals with disabilities. WHAT TO DO IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED DISCRIMINATION
If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination under a WIOA Title 1-financially assisted program or activity, you may file a complaint within 180 days from the date of the alleged

If you file your complaint with the recipient, you must wait either until the recipient issues a written Notice of Final Action, or until 90 days have passed (whichever is sooner), before filing with the Civil Rights Center (see address above). If the recipient does not give you a written Notice of Final Action within 90 days of the day on which you filed your complaint, you may file a complaint with CRC before receiving that Notice. However, you must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the 90-day deadline (in other words, within 120 days after the day on which you filed your complaint with the recipient). If the recipient does give you a written Notice of Final Action on your complaint, but you are dissatisfied with the decision or resolution, you may file a complaint with CRC.
