Your Rights Beneficiary Brochure Are you unable to speak, read,
write or understand English well? If so, you are Limited English Proficient
(LEP). Federal agencies and organizations that get money from the federal
government have to take reasonable steps to help people who have trouble with
English. Sometimes, when a government agency or an organization does not help
you because you are LEP, they violate the law.
I
Speak Language Identification Flashcard From the Department
of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, the I Speak Language
Identification Flashcard is written in 38 languages and can be used to identify
the language spoken by an individual accessing services provided by federally
assisted programs or activities
Choosing
a Language Access Provider Where an organization lacks ability to
satisfy its language assistance needs entirely through internal staff reserves,
the identification and selection of volunteer or contract third party language
providers can be a vital part of any language access program serving LEP
individuals.
