When and How to Verify Disability after Receiving an Accommodation Request!

Verification Forms: What information is required, How is it transmitted, Who should sign the form and How long is it good for?

In many requests for reasonable accommodation, one must verify non-observable disabilities. It is important to know when or if a verification is necessary. There are nuances to the request for accommodations. Join us for this very important topic where industry expert speaker Paul Flogstad will do a review of the protected classes and when a reasonable accommodation is necessary?

Paul will discuss the difference between reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications. Either type of accommodation will require a verification. If needed, he'll discuss how to verify either type. Paul will also discuss HUD’s new ruling on verification of service or assistance animals. One must understand the differences in verification for service or assistance animals.

Finally Paul will cover the verification forms themselves.What information is required, how is it transmitted, who should sign the form and how long is it good for.

As a bonus attendees will get two verification templates of forms along with the presentation hand-outs.
