The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that persons cannot sue state employers for money damages based on claims of disability discrimination. For these persons, our Center can assist with the filing of an EEOC complaint to stop future disability-based discrimination.

 

The federal REHABILITATION ACT provides funding for individual vocational rehabilitation for people with disabilities, to improve their ability and opportunity to obtain gainful employment.

 

The federal TICKET TO WORK & WORK INCENTIVES IMPROVEMENT ACT provides incentives for SSI and SSDI recipients to return to work.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1528722067402{padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”HAWAII DISABILITY RIGHTS CENTER” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23cc0000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Droid%20Sans%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”EMPLOYMENT
