 Questions & Answers About the Association Provision of the Americans With
Disabilities Act
The association provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act protects
applicants and employees from discrimination based on their relationship
or association with an individual who has a disability. The provision is
applicable whether or not the applicant or employee has a disability. The
provision was put into effect so that employers would not discriminate or
take unwarranted action upon an employee based on stereotypes about
individuals who associate or have relationships with people who have
disabilities.
The questions and answers document about the association provision
addresses questions about closeness of relationship, types of conduct
prohibited, required accommodation due to relationship, and insurance
coverage. The document also includes examples of each situation as well
as legal enforcement and retaliation provisions.
