00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.191
An April seventeenth, twenty twenty-six

00:00:03.191 --> 00:00:06.126
HHS OCR notice involves two transaction numbers and a

00:00:06.126 --> 00:00:09.764
complaint about communication access during a CMS records request.

00:00:09.764 --> 00:00:12.316
Treat the notice as a status record, not a finding.

00:00:12.316 --> 00:00:17.932
Preserve the exact letter, date, sender, recipient, questions, deadline, attachments, and disposition.

00:00:17.932 --> 00:00:24.442
Map the case in seven stages: submission, receipt, jurisdiction, information request, investigation, resolution, and remedy.

00:00:24.442 --> 00:00:27.505
A remand or request for information does not prove

00:00:27.505 --> 00:00:32.738
an investigation, discrimination, obstruction, retaliation, suppression, motive, or liability.

00:00:32.738 --> 00:00:36.312
ADA Title Two generally addresses state and local public entities.

00:00:36.312 --> 00:00:39.184
Disability access in programs conducted by a federal

00:00:39.184 --> 00:00:42.758
agency is analyzed under Section Five Oh Four and the agency’s rules.

00:00:42.758 --> 00:00:46.906
Keep the records-processing track separate from the disability-access track.
