NEW DOT RULES ON FLYING WITH ESA

As of January 11, 2021, the DOT/FAA/Airlines have Banned Emotional Support Animals from domestic flights. If you wish to fly with your Emotional Support Animal, you will have to register it as a PET - and the fees can range anywhere from $65 to $150 -- per flight. There is generally a limit to the number of PETS that are allowed on any one flight - so MAKE sure you verify with the airlines to fly with your now considered "PET".


Service Animals still fly for free! However, you must fill out several forms - submit them to the Airline - and wait for approval. Most airlines require at least 48 hours advance notice and document upload to their particular server. This is generally an involved task that is not for the faint of heart.

      Qualify Your Disability As Defined By The ADA Continued

      In Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. v. Williams (534 U.S. 184, 2002), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that in order to qualify as a disability, an impairment must restrict activities that are of "central importance to most people’s daily lives." The ADAAA only requires that an impairment substantially limit a single major life activity, regardless of whether it is of "central" importance.

       
      The ADAAA negates the standard also set forth in Toyota that a covered impairment "prevent" or "severely restrict" a major life activity.

       
      The ADAAA orders the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to issue interpretative guidance that lowers the definition of "substantially limits" to a level consistent with Congressional intent. Current EEOC guidance on the ADA defines the term to mean "significantly restricted."

       
      Even though the definition of substantially limits is currently in limbo, employers can assess to what degree an impairment impacts a major life activity by looking at:

       

        1. The nature and severity of the impairment;

         
        2. The duration or expected duration of the impairment; and

         
        3. The permanent or long-term impact, or the expected permanent or long-term impact, of or resulting from the impairment.

       
      Although short-term, temporary restrictions generally are not substantially limiting, an impairment does not have to be permanent to rise to the level of a disability. Some conditions may be long-term, or potentially long-term, in that their duration is indefinite and unknowable or is expected to be at least several months. Such conditions, if severe, may constitute disabilities.
