Where do you file a civil rights complaint with the HHS Office for 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.

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