CBEBT Facts
How can my company be in compliance with the Section 1557 Final Rule?
The final rule requires all covered entities to post a notice of consumer civil rights; covered entities with 15 or more employees are also required to have a civil rights grievance procedure and an employee designated to coordinate compliance. Under a new requirement, covered entities are required to post information telling consumers about their rights and telling consumers with disabilities and consumers with limited English proficiency (LEP) about the right to receive communication assistance. They are also required to post taglines in the top 15 languages spoken by individuals with LEP in the states in which the covered entity operates, advising consumers of the availability of free language assistance services. For examples of a notice of nondiscrimination, a nondiscrimination statement and tagline in English and multiple languages, visit www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-individuals/section-1557/translated-resources/index.html.
