OFCCP Releases Renewed Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form
posted: Tuesday, February 7th
Form To Be Used by Certain Federal Contractors
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has released a renewed Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form for use by certain federal contractors.
Background
Section 503 of the federal Rehabilitation Act prohibits certain federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment against individuals with disabilities, and requires these employers to take affirmative action to recruit, hire, promote, and retain these individuals.
Federal regulations require that covered contractors invite applicants to self-identify as individuals with disabilities at both the pre-offer and post-offer phases of the application process, using language prescribed by the OFCCP. The regulations also require that contractors invite their employees to self-identify as individuals with disabilities every 5 years, using the prescribed language. This language is provided in a Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form.
Renewed Form
The OFCCP has released a renewed self-identification form with an expiration date of January 31, 2020. Federal contractors must either download the renewed form(s) or update their electronic version(s) of the form to reflect the new date.
