Access for Everyone
The Office of Debt Recovery (ODR) is committed to providing accessible digital services and ensuring all users can access information and online resources regardless of ability. Accessibility helps create a more inclusive experience for individuals with disabilities and improves usability for everyone.
ODR works to make its website, documents, and online services accessible and usable across a wide range of devices and assistive technologies.
Federal Accessibility Standards
ODR strives to follow the accessibility requirements outlined in ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 Level AA. ODR also strives to follow Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794d), and other applicable web accessibility best practices.
To support accessibility, ODR continues working to improve website usability, compatibility with assistive technologies, and overall access to online information and services.
