One More Thing I Just Learned

Jump to Comments

Association claims under the ADA: A 2005 Guidance from the EEOC addresses these questions:

1.  What is the association provision of the ADA and to whom does it provide protection?
2.  How close does the association or relationship with a person with a disability have to be for an individual to be protected by the association provision?
3.  What types of employer conduct does the association provision prohibit?
4.  Does the ADA require an employer to provide a reasonable accommodation to a person without a disability due to that person’s association with someone with a disability?
5.  Does an employer have to provide health insurance coverage to employees who have dependents with disabilities beyond that provided to other employees?

Here is an index to all EEOC Guidance and Policy statements.
