The Age Discrimination
Act of 1975 prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs and
activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Act, which applies to
all ages, permits the use of certain age distinctions and factors other than
age that meet the Act's requirements. The Age Discrimination Act is enforced by
the Civil Rights Center.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects
certain applicants and employees 40 years of age and older from discrimination
on the basis of age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms,
conditions or privileges of employment. The ADEA is enforced by the
Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Section 188 of the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) prohibits discrimination against
applicants, employees and participants in WIA Title I-financially assisted
programs and activities, and programs that are part of the One-Stop system, on
the ground of age. In addition, WIA prohibits discrimination on the grounds of
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, political affiliation
or belief, and for beneficiaries only, citizenship or participation in a WIA
Title I-financially assisted program or activity. Section 188 of WIA is
enforced by the Civil Rights
Center.
