HHS Section 508 Accessibility checklists

The below checklists are the official HHS Accessibility checklists.  Anytime you are preparing an electronic document that will be posted online or distributed via e-mail, whether it’s an internal document or an external document, you need to follow the Section 508 guidelines. These checklists will help you ensure compliance with the guidelines. The below checklists are provisional, and we invite feedback on them as we move toward final versions tentatively scheduled for July 2013. 

If you need assistance with a program that is not on this page or if you’d like to provide feedback or recommendations to help improve the checklists, contact us for more information.
