WASHINGTON – Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) released the following statement regarding the Biden-Harris administration’s proposed changes to Section 14(c) programs, which protect employment opportunities for workers with disabilities: 

“This is misguided and irresponsible. We have plenty of evidence that shows 14(c) doesn’t destroy opportunities for individuals with disabilities, it protects them. In states that have eliminated or transitioned away from the 14(c) program, those who were part of them often end up jobless and isolated. The Biden-Harris administration should withdraw this proposed rule immediately because all Americans deserve to find dignity in work.”
