How do I file an ADA complaint?

If you feel you have been discriminated against in New Mexico due to a disability, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and/or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, public services, public accommodations, and transportation. To file a complaint with the DOJ, you must complete the ADA Complaint Form and mail it to the nearest ADA Information Center. The form can be found on the DOJ website. You must include your contact information, a description of the alleged discrimination, and documents supporting your complaint. You can also file a complaint with the EEOC. The EEOC enforces the ADA and other federal laws that prohibit workplace discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and disability. To file a complaint with the EEOC, you must complete an Intake Questionnaire. This questionnaire can be completed online, over the phone, or in person. Whether you file your complaint with the DOJ or the EEOC, you should provide as much detail as possible. You should also keep a copy of the complaint and any documentation you submit in case you need to reference it later. If you have any questions about how to file an ADA complaint in New Mexico, you can contact an ADA Information Center or the EEOC local office in your area for assistance.
