Contact Benefit Services to request your accommodation.  We request that you send an email communication and include:

• The reasonable accommodation that you would like to request 
• Why it is necessary for you to have the accommodation

Benefit Services will review your request and may reach out to you for  more information and/or medical documentation relating to your request.  If medical documentation is requested, then the documentation should include the following information only as it relates to your request:

• Describes the nature, severity and duration of the impairment
• the activity or activities the impairment limits
• substantiates why the reasonable accommodation is needed

After Benefit Services has received all the information needed regarding your request, we will begin the interactive process, including your department, to determine if the request is reasonable.  

Our office will work with you and your department to address your need for accommodation in a timely manner.  However, some accommodations, including those relating to assistive equipment and or software may take additional time to address.  

If Benefit Services, in conjunction with your department, determines that your request is reasonable then we will send an email  communication to you and your supervisor indicating that your accommodation has been approved.  If your accommodation is denied in whole or in part, you will receive an email communication with the reason for denial and how you can appeal the decision.
