Welcome to the NFFE Disability Resources page! Here you can find resources related to hiring, reasonable accommodations, and a number of other disability employment issues.

As a disabled American, you have certain rights to ensure that you are not discriminated against based upon your disability. Outlining those rights, and others, is the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which entitles disabled employees to, among other things appropriate reasonable accommodations from their employer. Here are some useful resources on the ADA.

Sometimes it is necessary for
Federal hiring officials to make a reasonable
workplace accommodation for a person with a
disability, if requested and appropriate
(unless so doing will result in undue hardship
to the agencies). Reasonable accommodation can
apply to the duties of the job, and/or where
and how job tasks are performed. The
accommodation should make it easier for the
employee to successfully perform the duties of
the position.
