Extractions: This Act prohibits employers from arbitrarily discriminating against persons over age 40 with regard to hiring, discharge, pay, promotions, fringe benefits and other employment decisions.

NAELA - Age Discrimination The laws prohibit age discrimination in employment, in housing options, The us Attorney and the state Attorney General are also helpful in assisting http://www.naela.com/naela/agediscrim.htm
Extractions: Age Discrimination The Issue Since the 1960s, the federal government has enacted many laws prohibiting discrimination against persons based upon their age. Such laws apply in all states and many states have enacted additional laws that enhance the federal protections. The laws prohibit age discrimination in employment, in housing options, in the delivery of services and benefits from federally-assisted programs and services, and in the granting of credit. The laws involved are the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 and the Truth in Lending Act of 1968. Each of these federal laws has specific provisions that address the question of discrimination based upon age. All of these laws are complex and lengthy, but each also provides relatively easy access to the agencies charged with enforcement. In the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, employees and job applicants over the age of 40 are protected from age discrimination in respect to any employment practice or decision including hiring and discharge, promotion, layoffs, compensation, and other terms, conditions and rights of employment. Age may not be used in advertising employment positions either specifically or by inference.

Extractions: HHS Home Questions? Contact HHS ... Contact OCR The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) enforces Federal laws that prohibit discrimination by health care and human service providers that receive funds from DHHS. One such law is the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. WHAT IS THE AGE DISCRIMINATION ACT? The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 is a national law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. The Age Discrimination Act applies to persons of all ages. It does not cover employment discrimination. (The Age Discrimination in Employment Act applies specifically to employment practices and programs, both in the public and private sectors, and applies only to persons over age 40. Complaints under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act should be sent to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Washington, D.C. 20506.) The Age Discrimination Act and DHHS age regulation (which can be found at 45 CFR Part 91) do apply to each DHHS recipient. The Age Discrimination Act also contains certain exceptions that permit, under limited circumstances, use of age distinctions or factors other than age that may have a disproportionate effect on the basis of age. For example, the Age Discrimination Act does not apply to:
Extractions: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces certain Federal civil rights laws that protect the rights of all persons in the United States to receive health and human services without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, disability, age, and in some cases, sex and religion. If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex or religion by a health care or human services provider (such as a hospital, nursing home, social service agency, etc.) or by a State or local government health or human services agency, you may file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Complaints alleging discrimination based on disability by programs directly operated by HHS may also be filed with OCR. You may file a complaint for yourself or for someone else. Complaints to the Office for Civil Rights should be filed in writing, either on paper or electronically. You can use OCR's Discrimination Complaint Form which can be found on our web site or at an OCR Regional office. If you do not use OCR's form, your complaint should include the following information:
Extractions: 14 January 2000 Use this version to print On January 11 the United States Supreme Court held unconstitutional the 25-year-old federal civil rights law that protects 4.7 million workers employed by state governments from discrimination on account of age. The case, Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents , marks yet another milestone in the Rehnquist court's campaign to weaken the power of the US Congress over state governments. The Court's action, although not a surprise (see our coverage of the oral arguments at US Supreme Court escalates attack on rights of death row prisoners ), is nevertheless notable for several reasons. Most importantly, it underscores the determination of right-wing elements to dismantle what is left of social legislation dating from the 1960s and 1970s. US Supreme Court rulings attack democratic rights Many commentators acknowledge that the Court's attack on Congressional power under the Fourteenth Amendment sounds the knell for a wide variety of federal civil rights laws, especially those giving injured people the right to sue government officials in federal court for police misconduct, such as excessive force and frame-ups.

Extractions: March on Washington Speech, August, 1963 The framers of the U.S. Constitution left to future generations resolution of the slavery issue, and the Civil War and Reconstruction provided only temporary relief from racial discrimination for former slaves and their descendants. By the mid-1950s, however, the U.S. Supreme Court had begun to subject laws that discriminate on the basis of a person's race, color, or national origin to strict judicial scrutiny, prohibiting virtually all forms of government-based racial discrimination. Congress, too, began to outlaw public and private racial discrimination in voting, employment, public accommodations, housing, and federally funded programs. Later, the high Court subjected laws based on gender to heightened scrutiny also, while Congress not only banned sex discrimination in a variety of fields but also forbade unequal treatment based on disability.
Extractions: EEOC And Age Discrimination: A New Threat To The Independence Of State And Local Retirement Plans? While the results were different, the problem facing retirement systems is the same; does the EEOC have the right to regulate the design and operation of state and local government plans? In recent years, the United States Supreme Court has taken an expansive view of the rights of state government to be free from lawsuits in both state and federal courts over discrimination claims on the basis of age and disability. The court found that individuals lack the ability to sue a state under the 11th amendment of the U. S. Constitution unless the issue fell within the enforcement powers of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. The EEOC as a governmental entity is apparently not subject to the same limitations. Thus, where individuals could not sue plans on their own, the EEOC can act as their proxy. The age discrimination laws treat disability benefits as if they were an insurance policy rather than as part of a comprehensive retirement program. As a result, governmental plans do not fit within the narrow strictures set forth in EEOC regulations. This lack of understanding of the nature of governmental plans and the ambiguities in the federal laws and regulations unduly expose plans to claims such as Kentucky faced. Kentucky prevailed because the court recognized the benevolent nature of the plan design and found an absence of any motive to discriminate, a critical element of proof for an age discrimination claimant. As the court noted, age is a necessary part of any discussion on retirement. The next retirement system, however, may not be as fortunate.

Age discrimination in a working environment can be a very distressing experience. You can be overlooked for opportunities, treated in a substandard manner by co-employees, and/or terminated for no other reason than your age. If you have experienced any of these, then you have experienced Age Discrimination. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. The ADEA's protections apply to both employees and job applicants. Under the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his/her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment including, but not limited to, hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training.

Extractions: 1. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. To learn more about retaliation, see Preventing Retaliation Claims by Employees Title VII prohibits discrimination in all terms, conditions, and privileges of employment, including hiring, firing, compensation, benefits, job assignments, promotions, and discipline. Title VII also prohibits practices that seem neutral but have a disproportionate impact on a protected group of people. Such a practice is legal only if the employer has a valid reason for using it. For example, a strength requirement might be legal even though it excludes disproportionate numbers of women if an employer is using it to fill a job that requires heavy lifting. Such a requirement would not be valid for a desk job, however. Title VII makes it illegal to harass someone on the basis of a protected characteristic (race, sex, and so on).
