Civil Rights Complaint Process

RMA Federally Assistance Programs (AD-475C)

The Civil Rights poster below is to be prominently displayed in all offices where there is a RMA presence. The poster is to be placed where it can be viewed by employees and customers. Please be advised that this required poster should be displayed in a specific size: 11" width x 17" height. This size requirement relates to a problem where the text of the poster becomes small and almost unreadable when the poster is printed in a typical printer's print size of 8.5" x 11". Very few organizations have printers capable of printing the required size for displaying the posters. The Internet copies of the poster are shared for the purpose of reference rather than for printing and display.

"And And Justice For All" (AD 475C) - Recipients of Federally-Assisted Programs such as Approved Insurance Providers and their agents, and Partnership Agreement Holders such as state land-grant university partners are required to display this poster in their facilities where it can be viewed by customers. It may be downloaded from the following website:
