Solutions for West Virginia
West Virginia Section 508 + ADA Title II Compliance
West Virginia agencies already follow Section 508 under the Office of Technology's enterprise IT policies, but the federal ADA Title II rule raises the bar to WCAG 2.1 AA — and puts a hard deadline on it. For West Virginia state and local governments, that means every public-facing PDF still in use needs to be accessible. CASO Comply remediates those documents at scale so your team doesn't have to do them one by one.
What West Virginia Already Requires
West Virginia has followed Section 508 for years through the Office of Technology's enterprise policies. The ADA Title II rule now adds WCAG 2.1 AA as the enforceable standard. CASO Comply handles the document side at scale.
WV Code 5A-6 — Office of Technology
West Virginia's Office of Technology operates under WV Code 5A-6, with authority granted by the Legislature and Governor's Executive Orders 6-06 and 3-17 to issue IT policies and standards for all executive branch agencies.
Section 508 Compliance (State-Adopted)
West Virginia state agencies are required to comply with Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act, ensuring websites and digital content include alternative text for images, accessible forms, and W3C-compliant HTML and CSS.
WVOT IT Policies for Executive Branch
The West Virginia Office of Technology issues enterprise IT policies that apply to all executive branch departments, agencies, and commissions — covering information security, data management, and accessibility of digital content.
Federal ADA Title II (Applies to All WV Public Entities)
The DOJ's 2024 ADA Title II web rule requires all West Virginia state and local government web content — including PDFs — to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, going beyond the existing Section 508 baseline.

Why West Virginia Entities Choose CASO Comply
Clear the PDF Backlog Fast
West Virginia agencies and county governments have years of PDFs on their websites — from DHHR forms to county commission minutes to school board policies. Manual remediation isn't feasible for already-stretched teams. CASO Comply automates tagging, alt text, and reading order fixes so you can bring the full backlog into compliance without adding staff.
Stay Compliant on Every New Upload
Meeting Section 508 once isn't enough — the ADA Title II rule now requires ongoing WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. CASO Comply catches new PDFs as they're published and makes them accessible automatically, so your agency doesn't drift out of compliance between audits.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most West Virginia agencies and local governments don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply handles the technical details — structure tagging, metadata, reading order — so your IT or administrative team can meet the federal deadline without specialized training or new hires.
