Where do you file a civil rights complaint with the HHS Office of Civil Rights?

Answer

 

If you are filing a discrimination complaint against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a state or local social or health services agency; or a hospital, clinic, nursing  home or other agency receiving Federal Financial Assistance from HHS you can file your complaint by email at OCRcomplaint@hhs.gov, or you can mail or fax your complaint to the OCR Regional Office that is responsible for the state in which you allege the discrimination took place. To find out where to file your complaint, use the OCR Regions list  or you can look at the Regional Office map to help you determine where to send your complaint.

If you are filing a complaint against another agency, go to Disabilityinfo.gov for more information.
