Any person who believes she or he has been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, or national origin by AgingNext may file a Title VI complaint by completing and submitting the agency’s Title VI Complaint Form. AgingNext investigates complaints received no more than 180 days after the alleged incident. AgingNext will only process complaints that are complete.
Within 10 business days of receiving the complaint, AgingNext Title VI Program Administrator, Floy Biggs, will review it to determine if our office has jurisdiction. The complainant will receive an acknowledgement letter informing her/him whether the complaint will be investigated by our office. AgingNext has 30 days to investigate the complaint. The complainant will be notified in writing of the cause to any planned extension to the 30-day rule.
If more information is needed to resolve the case, AgingNext may contact the complainant. The complainant has 10 business days from the date of the letter to send requested information to the investigator assigned to the case. If the investigator is not contacted by the complainant or does not receive the additional information within 10 business days AgingNext can administratively close the case.
A case can be administratively closed also if the complainant no longer wishes to pursue their case. After the investigator reviews the complaint, she/he will issue one of two letters to the
complainant: a closure letter or a letter of finding (LOF). A closure letter summarizes the allegations and states that there was not a Title VI violation and that the case will be closed. An LOF summarizes the allegations and the interviews regarding the alleged incident, and explains whether any disciplinary action, additional training of the staff member, or other action will occur. If the complainant wishes to appeal the decision, she/he has 30 days after the date of the closure letter or the LOF to appeal to the AgingNext Board of Directors or its designee. The complainant is entitled to review the denial, to present additional information and arguments, and to a separation of functions (i.e. a decision by a person not involved in with initial decision to deny eligibility). The complainant is entitled to receive written notification of the decision of the appeal and the reasons for it.
The complainant may also file a complaint directly with the Federal Transit Administration, as follows: Title VI Program Coordinator, FTA Office of Civil Rights, East Building, 5th Floor-TCR, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590.
