Breaking Language Barriers: Biden-Harris Administration Announces New Plan
to Address Language Barriers and Strengthen Language Access

[T]the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took the next
step in working to ensure greater access to the life-saving services that
it provides for people with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and people
with disabilities. In releasing the HHS Language Access Plan, HHS joins
agencies across the federal government in prioritizing communication in

Orders to advance racial equity and support for underserved communities,
which aims to improve access to benefits and services across the
Administration, including for people with LEP.
