The United States Postal Service (Postal Service) is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to employees and job applicants in accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The Postal Service also has an obligation to provide accommodations to qualified individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing in accordance with Management Instruction (MI) EL-670-2021-4, Providing Communication Accommodations to Employees and Applicants Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
This policy requires the Postal Service to provide American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services via Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) technology in any Postal Installation with one (1) or more eligible signing employees.

As with “in-person” interpreters, VRI services are generally contracted and paid for on a fee-for-service basis.
