Dear Federal Contractor:

In accordance with Title 38, United States Code, Section 4212(d), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) annually collects and compiles the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report from Federal contractors and subcontractors.

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, (VEVRAA) and its implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 61-250 required all contractors and subcontractors with Federal contracts who entered into a Federal contract prior to December 1, 2003 in excess of $25,000 to report the employment of veterans in four specified categories: veterans of the Vietnam era; special disabled veterans; other protected veterans; and recently separated veterans.

Public Law 107-288 (PL 107-288) defined as the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA), amended VEVRAA reporting requirements for contracts entered or modified on or after December 1, 2003. These changes (1) raise the reporting threshold from $25,000 to $100,000, and (2) modify the veterans' categories in the report. The JVA modified the report categories of veterans to: disabled veterans, other protected veterans, Armed Forces service medal veterans, and recently separated veterans (41 CFR 61.300).

These reports are due annually, on September 30. Federal contractors are encouraged to use online submission of the report through our website. However, mailed filings, as well as properly formatted disk filings are acceptable.

Please Note: 2009 VETS-100/VETS-100A reports accepted beginning August 1, 2009.
