The abbreviations listed in each of the cells below highlight the primary Federal laws that apply to various situations involving inaccessible technology. For example, if you have encountered inaccessible telecommunications, then Section 255 of the Communications Act, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, Title IV of the ADA, and/or the Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Act are your starting points for deciding which specific complaint procedures may apply to your situation. When you click on an abbreviation link below, you will see a page that lists highlights of the applicable laws.
Note: The laws listed in each cell do not indicate all of the Federal laws that could apply to a general situation. The intent of this quick reference is to give you the main starting points for deciding which complaint procedures may apply. After you choose a starting point and read the details, you may find that one or more additional laws apply to your situation. For instance, Section 504 may apply to a situation that involves inaccessible telecommunications if the telecommunications supports a program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance. In this case, however, the main "hook" in the quick reference is the "government-funded activity" and you can see that Section 504 is listed for that situation.
