Making Documents Section 508 Compliant

All documentation created by CMS employees and contractors must be 508 compliant. This section provides references and guidance toward accomplishing that goal.  Documentation includes all of the following:

  • Documents distributed via e-mail (includes Broadcast messages)
  • Documents posted to an internal or external website
  • Deliverables from Contractors (e.g., Test Plans, Requirements Documents)

For more information contact a CMS 508 Clearance Officer (link to 508 CO doc).
