Today, nine federal agencies are further advancing President Biden’s call for religious freedom and equity for all bythat restores important religious liberty protections for beneficiaries of federally funded social services, such as job training and job search assistance, academic enrichment opportunities, and housing services. These protections were rescinded by the previous Administration.
Requiring federal grantees that administer social service programs within the United States to notify beneficiaries of their right to be free from discrimination on the basis of religion and providing a model notice for providers’ use. Encouraging governmental agencies that fund domestic programs to help beneficiaries identify alternative federally funded service providers in their area, including providers that are more compatible with their beliefs.
In response to comments, the rule also clarifies certain matters. For example, while providers will be permitted to notify beneficiaries of this rule’s protections as part of any broader nondiscrimination notice, providers will not be required to combine such notifications.
