This policy protects the rights of the Cabinet’s employees, service applicants and customers.
Vendors, agencies and organizations providing services to the Cabinet or its recipients of federally aided programs must also comply with this policy.
CHFS COMMITMENTS
To comply with federal and state laws, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services has made the following commitments:
- No one applying for or receiving assistance or services will directly or through contractual or other arrangements be denied aid, care, services, or other benefits provided by the Cabinet
- These services will be given in the same manner to all recipients, based on eligibility.
- No one applying for or receiving assistance will be subjected to segregation or different treatment in any matter related to receipt of the assistance.

- No one will be given different treatment in determining eligibility or meeting other requirements or conditions that must be met to receive benefits.

DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS
Any applicant for or recipient of federally aided programs who feels discriminated against may file a complaint of discrimination.
FILING A COMPLAINT
Complaints alleging sexual harassment should be forwarded immediately to the EEO Compliance Branch of the Cabinet’s Office of Human Resource Management.
You may file a complaint of discrimination at your local office with an EEO Counselor or Coordinator. The allegation will be investigated and the complaint resolved locally if possible.
When it is impossible to resolve the complaint locally, the complaint will be forwarded to the OHRM/EEO Compliance Branch. The complainant may also file a complaint with an outside agency (listing on back.)
