What Happens After My Request Is Made?

Your request for reasonable accommodation will activate an interactive process to determine whether you are a qualified individual with a disability who meets the minimum qualifications. You are involved in the interactive process, during which the following occurs:

  • The Postal Service identifies essential functions of your job or the job for which you applied.
  • You and the Postal Service consider your abilities and limitations.
  • You and the Postal Service identify potential accommodations and their feasibility.
  • The Postal Service determines the reasonableness of the accommodations.

In addition, the Postal Service considers the following:

  • Whether the accommodation would pose an undue hardship to the Postal Service.
  • Whether the accommodation would eliminate or reduce any direct threat of harm to you or others.
