Reasonable Accommodation Request Procedure
Beginning August 1, 2022, all DORS employees requesting
new reasonable accommodations for their disabilities will use the
DORS Reasonable Accommodation Portal to submit their
Reasonable Accommodation Request Form
and relevant medical documentation.
An email address for communications relevant to reasonable accommodations has also been established (ReasonableAccommodations.dors@maryland.gov).
All communications and information provided through the portal and email address are secure, only used for the reasonable accommodation interactive process, and are kept confidential and separate from personnel files. This process has been developed to help manage all requests.
Note: This procedure applies to all
NEW accommodation requests August 1, 2022 or after. If you submitted a request prior to that date or have an accommodation already in place, you
do not need to resubmit using the
Portal.
Supervisors:
Please remember that the reasonable accommodation interactive process is triggered as soon as you become aware that the employee may have a mental or physical impairment that limits their ability to perform any aspect of their job. If an employee indicates either verbally or in writing that they are having difficulties with their job tasks due to a medical condition or disability, please advise them to complete the
Reasonable Accommodation Request Form and submit it through the
Portal.
Also, if you have a brand new employee coming onboard with a known disability (example: blind) who is in need of an accommodation or who has indicated they may need a reasonable accommodation, please assist them with submitting the
Request Form through the
Portal prior to their start date so we can get the process underway.
DDS Employees:
DDS Employees may have difficulty using the
Portal via their ssa.gov email address but they can use their personal email address if they choose to submit their
Request Form and medical documents through the
Portal. Otherwise, DDS employees may submit their
Request Form and associated documents by attachment to the dedicated email address:
ReasonableAccommodations.dors@maryland.gov.
