CIVIL RIGHTS
To release a new policy.
The Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) is committed to its ongoing effort to enhance the customer experience and ensure all customers have equal access to the programs and services DPSS offers. Customer Service Liaisons (CSLs) are outstationed in all General Relief (GR) District offices to ensure compliance with customer service initiatives and policies, to coordinate accommodations for persons with disabilities, and to support district office personnel in providing quality customer service. The CSLs report directly to the Department’s ADA Title II Coordinator in the Customer Service Liaison Unit (CSLU) and works in collaboration with the District Office Director and staff.
DPSS has implemented several customer service initiatives in an effort to continually provide customers prompt and effective service. In March 2016, the Customer Service Liaison Unit was implemented to support service efforts in the District Offices. The CSLU oversees CSLs that are out-stationed in GR district offices.

The Americans with Disabilities Act, as used in this Release, refers to the laws designed to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities. These laws prohibit discrimination by guaranteeing equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, commercial facilities, employment, transportation, State and local government services, and telecommunications.
