OCR Remand Notice – HHS/OCR Investigating CMS Failure to Provide ADA Reasonable Modifications on FOIA Request 110620247022 (Deborah Kolodner, 17 April 2026)

HHS Office for Civil Rights Formally Remands Complaint Against CMS OCR Transaction Nos. 25-614156 & 26-669246 Investigator: Deborah E. Kolodner, J.D. Date Received: Friday, 17 April 2026 The United States Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), has officially remanded David Medeiros’s complaint against the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Investigator Deborah E. Kolodner, J.D., Mid-Atlantic Region, is now conducting a full investigation into CMS’s failure to respond to David Medeiros’s repeated requests for reasonable modifications in communications regarding Freedom of Information Act Request No. 110620247022. Core Allegation Under Investigation CMS did not acknowledge and did not comply with David Medeiros’s requests for disability-accessible communication methods while processing his FOIA request. This directly violates Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Exact Questions Investigator Kolodner Requires Answered (5-business-day deadline) Detailed method of submission of FOIA Request No. 110620247022 and all follow-up correspondence (MuckRock platform, CMS electronic FOIA portal, email, fax, or U.S. Mail), including exact dates. Precise reasonable modifications requested (e.g., all communication via email instead of MuckRock, or other accessible format). Strategic Mission Tie-In This remand constitutes direct evidence of systemic obstruction of ADA/Section 504 rights inside CMS, the same federal agency that oversees the Medicaid ABI Waiver program that David Medeiros has exposed for fraud and Olmstead Act violations through ABI Resources. The failure to provide simple, accessible communication (email) while David Medeiros manages a traumatic brain injury is not a technicality. It is disability-based discrimination that delays justice, suppresses whistleblower evidence, and protects the very Medicaid fraud networks documented on this platform.
