Or. Admin. Code § 407-005-0025 - Requesting a Reasonable Modification
(1) To request a reasonable modification to a
Department program, service or activity a client applicant, client or public
member must submit to program staff a request for a reasonable modification to
the applicable program. Requests may be made verbally or by completing the
Request for Reasonable Modification form.
(2) Upon receipt of a request for
modification the Department will:
(a)
Determine whether additional documentation regarding the claimed disability is
needed and request such documentation;
(b) Within fifteen (15) working days of the
request or the receipt of additional medical documentation, whichever is later,
provide to the requestor notification of approval, approval with alternative
modifications or denial of the request for reasonable modification. All denials
and approvals with alternative modifications that were not requested will be
clearly labeled a "Preliminary Notification Subject to Review."
(c) Ensure that approved modifications occur
within a reasonable time.
(3) A "Reasonable Modification Team" means a
two person team appointed by program managers that meet to evaluate a Request
for Reasonable Modification decision that either denied the request or approved
the request but with modifications other than those requested.
(4) This process may include additional
communication with the individual requesting the Reasonable
Modifications.
(5) Preliminary
Notifications will automatically be reviewed by a Reasonable Modification Team
that will notify the requestor of the final result of the review within fifteen
(15) working days of the preliminary notification or within fifteen working
days following receipt of medical or other supporting documentation requested
by the Team, whichever is later.
(6) An individual whose request for
reasonable modification has been denied or approved with alternative
modifications which the individual believes to be inadequate may file a Report
of Discrimination with the Department within 60 days of the final result or
file a complaint with the appropriate federal regulatory agency within 180 days
of the final result.
