Feds Only Reasonable Accomodations

[Anonymous]

Has any Fed had reasonable accommodations approved since Jan 20, 2025? If so, will you please share for which general conditions? Thanks.

I’m still waiting on mine. Multiple mental heath conditions that require sleep hygiene and medications not compatible with daily 4 hours spent commuting.

Probably just still processing. Our agency (midsize) got a number of requests equivalent to 10% of our total staff.

How long can they take? Pretty sure they must still be processed within 20 business days.

We were told there was a huge backlog...months long waits but you could have the accomodations until denied.

If you're still waiting, I think that's a no, dawg

A number of attorneys at my office are trying to claim reasonable accommodation in order to avoid RTO because they bought houses so far away.

OMG

I’m guessing agencies are going to get flooded with requests based on mental health conditions. They will all get denied.

Instead of 1 boy crying wolf it’s 20% of them. Very unfortunate for those that really need accommodations.

Well, the ADA doesn’t just disappear because Elon Musk says so. People have rights!

why do you live so far away? I say this as I got a pied a tier across the street from my office when I had a very long round trip commute. Actually was relaxing. Even more so than WFH. Had best of both worlds.

Would a reasonable accommodation help to avoid a RIF? This is for a group that hasn’t yet returned. It would be a legitimate RA for a physical disability that developed this year. Lots of legit medical documentation.

I believe you that your mental health isn’t compatible with commuting 4 hours but I hope you didn’t say “sleep hygiene” in your request. I also suspect you will get denied because living 2 hours away from the office is a choice. No one’s mental health is compatible with 4 hours of commuting. But I hope it works out for you!
