Statistics show that, since the EEOC began enforcing the ADA over 20 years ago, the number of annual EEOC claims filed on behalf of disabled persons has steadily increased, from 15,000 in 1993 to almost 26,000 in 2013. Officials at the EEOC say the agency intends to send a clear message that the provisions of the Act will be vigorously enforced. The commission’s actions are expected to apply not only to hiring decisions, but to decisions related to existing employees with disabilities. They also acknowledge that, at least in part, the renewed enforcement is designed to ensure that the provisions of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 are being followed by employers. Congress revised the ADA, effective January 1, 2009, to include diabetes, cancer and severe diabetes.
