00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,068
Question 94.

2
00:00:01,068 --> 00:00:04,105
Were disability accommodations
provided during complaint handling?

3
00:00:04,105 --> 00:00:07,577
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

4
00:00:07,577 --> 00:00:08,011
finding.

5
00:00:08,011 --> 00:00:08,878
People served:

6
00:00:08,878 --> 00:00:12,350
Covered grievance systems must be
accessible, impartial, documented,

7
00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:15,387
and free from threatened
or actual retaliation.

8
00:00:15,387 --> 00:00:16,255
David Medeiros:

9
00:00:16,255 --> 00:00:18,425
Speech, petition, whistleblower,
public-record, and

10
00:00:18,425 --> 00:00:21,896
disability-retaliation theories each
have different actors and elements.

11
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:22,764
ABI Resources:

12
00:00:22,764 --> 00:00:25,367
ABI may petition and
preserve evidence;

13
00:00:25,367 --> 00:00:28,405
contract retaliation and
constitutional retaliation are related

14
00:00:28,405 --> 00:00:29,706
but not interchangeable.

15
00:00:29,706 --> 00:00:31,876
Constitutional claims
need state action;

16
00:00:31,876 --> 00:00:35,347
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

17
00:00:35,347 --> 00:00:36,215
a contract.

18
00:00:36,215 --> 00:00:39,253
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

19
00:00:39,253 --> 00:00:42,290
Preserve complaint intake, routing,
preservation, decision-makers, case

20
00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:45,328
files, responses, timing,
referrals, and adverse actions.

21
00:00:45,328 --> 00:00:48,365
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
