I have an approved disability under the Americans with Disability Act, but HOC denied my reasonable accommodation request. How was this determined?

Home > FAQs > I have an approved disability under the Americans with Disability Act, but HOC denied my reasonable accommodation request. How was this determined?

Reasons for which HOC may deny such requests include, but are not limited to the following:

  • If the relationship (nexus) between the requested accommodation and the individual’s disability is not obvious, and there is not sufficient third-party health verification to otherwise demonstrate the relationship.
  • Even with the required nexus, if the requested reasonable accommodation constitutes a fundamental alteration in HOC’s programs or activities, HOC will deny the request.
  • Even with the required nexus, if the requested accommodation creates an undue financial and administrative burden for HOC, HOC will deny the request.
