OFCCP Posts a New Infographic to Determine Veteran Status
Recently, the OFCCP published the new "Am I a Protected Veteran?" infographic, to assist veterans in identifying the "protected veteran" categories and help them to determine their eligibility for coverage under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) regulations. The VEVRAA regulations require contractors to invite applicants and employees to voluntarily self-identify as a protected veteran during both the pre- and post-offer stages of employment.

For your convenience, this infographic includes a list of the service periods that may be counted as active duty covered under VEVRAA

OFCCP Creates an Infographic to Explain its Jurisdictional Thresholds
The OFFCP recently developed and published a new "Jurisdictional Thresholds" infographic to help employers, employees, and other interested parties easily determine when Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503), and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act regulations apply to organizations doing business with the federal government.

The infographic includes the recent increase to Section 503's coverage threshold from $10,000 to $15,000. According to the OFCCP, the increase resulted from an inflationary adjustment statute that authorizes the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to review and adjust "acquisition-related" threshold amounts in statutes that apply to federal procurement.
