Discrimination Complaints

The Department of Social Services ensures program services and benefits are available to every qualified applicant without regard to race, color, sex, age, disability, religion and national origin. 

If an applicant believes he or she has been discriminated against in the denial of or administration of services or benefits, a complaint can be filed with the Division of Legal Services within 180 days of the alleged discrimination.
