OMB approved the Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability form - expires on January 31, 2020

Inclusiveness isn't just good for workers; it's smart for business. Also, ensuring that everyone has an equal employment opportunity is the law. That's why the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) requires federal contractors to ask workers to voluntarily identify if they have a disability.

Federal contractors also need this information to measure their progress toward achieving equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

Any changes on the form? No changes have been made to the form. The only difference is the expiration date.

When must contractors begin using the form? Federal contractors must begin using a form with the January 31, 2020 expiration date immediately.

Why should I self-identify? Disclosing whether you have a disability enables contractors to measure their progress toward equal employment opportunity. The form is voluntary and cannot be used against you, or shared with your supervisor or coworkers.

For our clients, the updated form is available on your Client Corner HResource Center or you can download the updated form here.
