- A funding eligibility factor for agencies receiving federal assistance

WHY THIS MATTERS
“The U.S. Department of Justice received more than 10,000 web and digital accessibility complaints in a single year — the majority targeting state and local government entities. For CIO offices without a documented remediation program, a complaint is not a matter of if. It is a matter of when.”
— U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Office on Disability Rights
