Under which scenario can you ask if an applicant needs reasonable accommodation?

The applicant has voluntarily disclosed a hidden disability and you reasonably believe they will require accommodation.
The clients will not accommodate someone with a disability.
The applicant has a temporary injury.
The applicant has an obvious disability but can perform the job without assistance.

The correct answer is: The applicant has voluntarily disclosed a hidden disability and you reasonably believe they will require accommodation.

Asking an applicant if they need reasonable accommodation is appropriate when the applicant has voluntarily disclosed a hidden disability, and there is a reasonable belief that they will require some form of accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job. This scenario reflects respect for the applicant's autonomy and acknowledges their right to disclose a disability. It demonstrates a proactive approach to inclusivity and ensures that the employer supports the applicant's needs in the hiring process. This situation aligns with legal guidelines, as employers are encouraged to engage in an interactive process once they are made aware of a disability that could impact job performance. Understanding their needs can help create an equitable hiring environment. In contrast, other scenarios may not allow for such inquiries. For instance, if the clients will not accommodate someone with a disability, it may indicate that discussing accommodations is inappropriate or even unfeasible. Asking about accommodations for an applicant with a temporary injury could raise concerns about interpreting that injury as a disability under legal definitions, leading to potential miscommunications or implications. Lastly, if an applicant has an obvious disability yet can perform the job without assistance, it would not be necessary to inquire about accommodations, as their ability to perform the tasks indicates no need for further assistance or modifications.
