The
Age Discrimination Act of 1975 prohibits discrimination on the
basis of age in programs and activities receiving federal financial
assistance. The Act, which applies to all ages, permits the use of
certain age distinctions and factors other than age that meet the
Act's requirements. The Age Discrimination Act is enforced by the Civil
Rights Center.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects
certain applicants and employees 40 years of age and older from
discrimination on the basis of age in hiring, promotion, discharge,
compensation, or terms, conditions or privileges of employment. The
ADEA is enforced by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Section 188
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) prohibits
discrimination against applicants, employees and participants in WIA
Title I-financially assisted programs and activities, and programs
that are part of the One-Stop system, on the ground of age. In
addition, WIA prohibits discrimination on the grounds of race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, political
affiliation or belief, and for beneficiaries only, citizenship or
participation in a WIA Title I-financially assisted program or
activity. Section 188 of WIA is enforced by the Civil
