All recipients of Federal and/or State funds are required to complete and submit a Civil Rights Compliance Letter of Assurance (LOA) to DCF, regardless of the agency’s size. Agencies that employ 50 or more employees and receive more than $50,000 must complete a CRC Plan, which must be kept on file within the agency. The plan must be provided upon request to DCF.

The Civil Rights Compliance (CRC) Requirements for the compliance period of January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2025 were issued jointly by DCF and the Department of Health Services (DHS). On May 28, 2025 DCF and DHS extended the compliance period to December 31, 2026.

Note: On September 14, 2026 DCF extended the compliance period for an additional two years to December 31, 2028.
