Blind and Disabled Veterans Can’t Access VA Websites, Report Says

It is unclear exactly how other federal websites are performing because the Justice Department, which is supposed to report on the government’s compliance with federal accessibility laws every two years, has not issued a report since 2012. The Justice Department pledged last month to restart its monitoring of federal websites and technology for accessibility compliance after a bipartisan group of senators called for the department to do so.

A separate, independent 2021 report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation found that 30 percent of the most popular federal websites did not pass an automated accessibility test for their homepage.
