White background. In the top right corner, an image of a gear overlays DEC's logo with the text "Implementation Guide" to the left in light blue font. The header in dark green, bolded text reads: Sample Disability Status Questions. Dark green text below header lists five sample disability status questions: "Are you deaf, or do you have serious difficulty hearing? Do you have difficulty remembering or concentrating? Do you have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs? Do you have difficulty dressing or bathing? Due to a disability, do you need any additional assistance or accommodations during your visit?" The DEC logo is below the text at the bottom center of the image.
