Connecticut Grievance/Complaint Filed Under The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is a complaint filed in the state of Connecticut by an individual alleging that their civil rights have been violated in violation of the ADA. These complaints can be filed by individuals who have experienced discrimination due to their disability in a public or private workplace, educational institution, or other public accommodation. There are two types of Connecticut Grievance/Complaint Filed Under The Americans With Disabilities Act: administrative complaints and civil rights complaints. Administrative complaints are filed with the appropriate state or local government agency, and are used to resolve disputes and seek remedies for violations of the ADA. These complaints are typically handled by the state's Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities (OP APD). Civil rights complaints are filed with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and are used to address discrimination that violates the ADA in any state or local government program or activity, including those funded by the federal government. Complaints can be filed in person, by mail, or online with the appropriate agency, and the individual filing the complaint must provide evidence of the discrimination they experienced. Once the complaint is filed, the agency is required to investigate the allegation and determine whether it is valid. If the complaint is found to be valid, the agency can take a variety of actions, including ordering the responsible party to provide reasonable accommodations, compensatory damages, or other remedies.
