Veteran Voluntary Self-Identification Form 100
[ Editor's note: Form to be used for the VETS-100 Report. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) annually collects and compiles the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report (VETS-100) from federal contractors and subcontractors who receive federal contracts that meet the threshold amount of $25,000 or more entered into or modified prior to December 1, 2003, or $100,000 or more entered into or modified after December 1, 2003. The report requires covered employers to report the number of veteran employees and the number of new hires.
According to 41 CFR 60-741.42, there are only two circumstances when an employer may ask a disabled applicant to self-identify on a pre-offer basis:
(1) The invitation is made when the contractor actually is undertaking affirmative action for individuals with disabilities at the pre-offer stage; or (2) the invitation is made pursuant to a federal, state or local law requiring affirmative action for individuals with disabilities.
According to 41 CFR 60-250.42, there are only two circumstances under which an employer may ask applicants who are special disabled veterans to self-identify on a pre-offer basis:
(1) The invitation is made when the contractor actually is undertaking affirmative action for special disabled veterans at the pre-offer stage; or (2) the invitation is made pursuant to a Federal, state or local law requiring affirmative action for special disabled veterans. ]
Under the regulations implementing the affirmative action provisions of VEVRAA issued by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), a federal contractor is required to invite applicants and current employees to inform the contractor whether he or she is a veteran belonging to one or more of the categories of veterans covered under VEVRAA who wishes to benefit under the contractor's affirmative action program (AAP) for covered veterans.
In extending this invitation you are also advised that: (a) workers and applicants are under no obligation to respond, but may do so in the future if they choose; (b) responses will remain confidential within the human resources department; and (c) responses will be used only for the necessary information to include in our Veterans 100 Report. Refusal to provide this information will have no bearing on your application and will not subject you to any adverse treatment.
