Roadmap / timeline to support WCAG 2.1 (Level AA)?

[richbrown6]

With the new https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/, Section 508 compliance will be based on WCAG 2.1 (Level AA). What's the roadmap to update ANDI to reflect support for the new criteria?

In the FAQ (https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/help/faq.html), can you please identify the scope of what's being checked by ANDI?
Example: today Section 508, and WCAG 2.0 (Level AA)

Thank you for this question. Regarding WCAG 2.1 A and AA SC, here's a list:

ANDI can already help with these:
1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose
2.5.3 Label in Name
4.1.3 Status Messages

Features in ANDI can be added to help with these. We will make plans to add these features and keep you updated here:
1.4.12 Text Spacing
2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation

A manual test will be needed for these (ANDI and other automated tools can't accurately detect these):
1.3.4 Orientation
1.4.10 Reflow
1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast
1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus
2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures
2.5.4 Motion Actuation
