PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS)
and Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have supported
affirmative actions to employ and advance in employment of covered veterans
since 2008. As legislatively mandated under 38 U.S. Code Section 4212, codified
at 41 CFR 61-300, contractors and subcontractors who enter into, or modify a
contract or subcontract with the federal government, and whose contract meets
the criteria set forth in the above legislation / regulations, are required to
report annually on their affirmative action efforts in employing veterans. Data
reported through form VETS-4212 is used by OFCCP in compliance evaluations.

You can find more information in the VETS-4212 rules and regulations:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


REPORTING THRESHOLD

Although the Section 503 and VEVRAA statutes themselves have not been amended,
in 2004 Congress enacted Section 807 of the Ronald Reagan National Defense
Authorization Act which is codified at 41 U.S.C. 1908, which requires the
Federal Acquisition Regulation Council (FAR Council) to review the dollar
threshold amounts in certain federal agency procurement-related laws every five
years to determine whether they need to be adjusted for inflation. As a result
of these reviews, the FAR Council has implemented inflationary adjustments of
acquisition-related dollar thresholds for Section 503 and VEVRAA. While OFCCP's
regulations at 41 CFR 60-300 and 41 CFR 60-741 do not currently reflect these
inflationary adjustments, OFCCP has adopted the FAR Council's adjusted
thresholds for determining whether a contractor is covered by Section 503 and
VEVRAA regulatory requirements.

The current reporting threshold is $150,000.

HAVE QUESTIONS ON HOW TO FILL OUT AND COMPLETE YOUR COMPANY'S VETS-4212 REPORT?

Expand All | Collapse All
1. What is the reporting threshold for filing the VETS-4212 Report?

The VETS-4212 Report should be filed if a business has a current federal
government contract or subcontract worth $150,000 or more, regardless of the
number of employees. The contract or subcontract may be with any department or
agency of the United States for the procurement of personal property or
non-personal services. Services include, but are not limited to, utility,
construction, transportation, research, insurance, and fund depository,
regardless whether the government is the purchaser or seller. The obligation to
report is the responsibility of the contractor or subcontractor. If unsure of
the requirements to file a report, please contact the authority requesting that
the report be filed for clarification. Generally speaking, this authority is the
federal contracting officer (CO) in charge of awarding the contract.

2. When does my company have to file a VETS-4212 Report after obtaining a new
covered contract?

If a federal government contract or subcontract is worth $150,000 or more, a
VETS-4212 Report must be filed between August 1 and September 30 each year
following a calendar year in which a contractor or subcontractor held a contract
or subcontract. The obligation to report is on the contractor or subcontractor.
If the contractor or subcontractor is unsure of whether to file a report or not
they will need to contact the authority requesting that the report be filed for
clarification. Generally speaking, this authority is the federal contracting
officer (CO) in charge of awarding a contract.

3. What if my company no longer has a covered contract?

If the company does not have a current contract that meets the reporting
threshold, as of January 1 with the federal government, it does not need to file
a VETS-4212 for the current filing cycle.

4. Do state and local government agencies have to file VETS-4212 Reports?

The reporting requirements do not apply to state and local government agencies
or state and local government contractors and subcontractors that do not
participate in work under a federal contract or subcontract according to 41 CFR
60-300.

5. Do banks and other FDIC insured institutions have to file VETS-4212 Reports?

A bank, financial institution or a private sector FDIC insured is covered under
the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Act (VEVRAA) if it has a single contract
that meets the dollar threshold amount under VEVRAA filing requirements. Federal
contracts held by banks and other financial institutions include, but are not
limited to, agreements to serve as fund depositories, agreements for federal
share and deposit insurance, and agreements to serve as an issuing and paying
agent for U.S. savings bonds and savings notes.

6. What if my company was acquired or has merged with another company?

If a company which is required to submit a VETS-4212 Report undergoes a merger
or an acquisition, it is not necessary to notify the Veterans' Employment and
Training Service for the purposes of filing the VETS-4212 Report. If an acquired
or merged company maintains its identity once it has been merged with or
acquired by another company, it is still required to file using its current
Employer Identification Number (EIN). If the acquired or merged company does not
maintain its identity once it has been merged with or acquired by another
company, it is not required to file. Accordingly, the acquiring or merging
company should not include the acquired or merged company’s information if the
acquired or merged company maintains its identity. The acquiring or merging
company must include the acquired or merged company’s information if the
acquired or merged company does not maintain its identity.

7. Does my company have to notify the VETS-4212 Service Desk if they are exempt
from reporting?

If a company is not subject to the regulatory requirements under the Vietnam Era
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), they are exempt from the
requirement to file a VETS-4212. A notification informing the VETS-4212 Service
Desk that a company does not have to file a VETS-4212 Report is not required.
Additionally, the VETS-4212 Service Center does not provide information
certifying that a company does not have to file. Any requirements placed on a
company by a federal contracting officer (CO) to certify that it is not required
to file should be addressed with the CO.

8. What happens if my company does not file a VETS-4212 Report?

Federal contractors and subcontractors who are required, but fail, to file the
VETS-4212 Report will not be subject to fines. However, federal contracting
agencies are prohibited from obligating or expending funds to enter into a
contract with the contractor or subcontractor.

9. What is the “Type of Reporting Organization” for the filing a VETS-4212
Report?

The reporting organization indicates the type of contractual relationship
(either a prime contractor or a subcontractor) that the organization has with
the federal government. If the organization serves as both a prime contractor
and a subcontractor on various federal contracts, select both options.

10. What does the term “prime contractor” mean?

A prime contractor is the company which was initially awarded a contract to
provide a service or product to the federal government. The Vietnam Era
Veterans’ Readjustment Act (VEVRAA) requires covered federal contractors and
subcontractors to file the VETS-4212 Report. The VETS-4212 Report requires a
company to indicate the type of contractual relationship that it has with the
federal government. If the company serves as a prime contractor, please select
"Prime Contractor" under the "Type of Reporting Organization" section.

11. What does the term “subcontractor” mean?

A subcontractor is a business who receives a contract from a federal contractor
(prime contractor or subcontractor) to perform a specific task as part of a
contract awarded by the federal government. The Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Act (VEVRAA) requires covered federal contractors and
subcontractors to file the VETS-4212 Report. The VETS-4212 Report requires a
company to indicate the type of contractual relationship that it has with the
federal government. If the company serves as both a prime contractor and a
subcontractor on federal contracts, please select both "Prime Contractor" and
"Subcontractor" under the "Type of Reporting Organization" section.

12. What if my company is both a “prime contractor” and a “subcontractor” with
covered contracts for each?

The VETS-4212 Report requires a company to indicate the type of contractual
relationship that it has with the federal government. If the company serves as
both a prime contractor and a subcontractor on federal contracts, please select
both "Prime Contractor" and "Subcontractor" under the "Type of Reporting
Organization" section.

13. Which VETS-4212 Report “Type of Form” do I file?

Reporting organizations that submit a VETS-4212 Report for a single location
should select Single Establishment. If the reporting organization submits more
than one form, only one form should be submitted as Multiple
Establishment-Headquarters. The remaining forms should be submitted as either
Multiple Establishment-Hiring Location or Multiple Establishment-State
Consolidated. For state consolidated forms, the number of hiring locations
included in that report should be entered in the space provided.

14. What does the term “Hiring Location” mean?

The term "Hiring Location" refers to an economic unit which produces goods or
services, such as a factory, office, store, or mine. In most instances, the
establishment is a single physical location engaged in one, or predominantly
one, economic activity. Employers required to file the VETS-4212 Report must
file a completed report for its establishment. Multiple establishment employers
with more than one hiring location must file a VETS-4212 Report for the
headquarters office and for each establishment. If the multiple establishment
hiring locations within a state employ fewer than 50 persons, the employer can
file separate reports for each location, or state consolidated reports that
cover all hiring location establishments within one state.

15. Does my company need to file a VETS-4212 Report for international locations?

Companies are not required to report on locations outside of the U.S. and its
territories.

16. What does the term “Single Establishment” mean?

Single establishment employers are those employers doing business at one hiring
location. These employers must:

 * File one completed VETS-4212 Report;
 * Select "Single Establishment" under the "Type of Form" section;
 * Complete name and address under "Parent Company" section; and
 * Leave "Hiring Location" section blank.

17. What does the term “Parent Company” mean?

"Parent Company" refers to any corporation which owns all or the majority stock
of another corporation so that the latter stands in relation to it as a
subsidiary company.

18. What is a subsidiary company?

For the purposes of filing a VETS-4212 Report, a subsidiary company is a company
of which a parent company owns all or the majority of the subsidiary company’s
stock.

19. Are subsidiaries of federal contractors required to file VETS-4212 Reports?

A subsidiary company that is a federal contractor or subcontractor must file a
Multiple Establishment-Hiring Location Report for the parent company which owns
all or the majority of the company’s stock. For the purposes of filing a
VETS-4212 Report, a subsidiary company that is not a federal contractor or
subcontractor should not be included in the Parent Company's VETS-4212 Report.
The obligation to file a report is the responsibility of the contractor or
subcontractor. If unsure of the requirements to file a report, please contact
the authority requesting that the report be filed. Generally speaking, this
authority is the federal contracting officer (CO) in charge of awarding a
contract.

20. What does the term “Multiple Establishment” mean?

Multiple establishment employers are those employers doing business at more than
one hiring location.  In addition to filing a completed VETS-4212 Report
covering the principal or headquarters office, these employers must:

 * File a separate VETS-4212 Report for each hiring location or state
   consolidated for each state employing 50 or fewer persons; and
 * * See Question 22

21. What does the term “Headquarters” mean?

Multiple establishment employers do business at more than one hiring location. 
When filing for a headquarters office, employers must:

 * File one completed VETS-4212 Report covering the principal or headquarters
   office; and
 * Select "Multiple Establishment - Headquarters" under the "Type of Form"
   section.

22. What if my company is a Multiple Establishment employer, but a state with
multiple locations employ fewer than 50 employees?

In addition to filing a completed VETS-4212 Report covering the principal or
headquarters office, and separate VETS-4212 Reports for each hiring location
within one state employing 50 or more persons, multiple establishment employers
must either:

 * File a separate report for each hiring location, select “Multiple
   Establishment - Hiring Location;” or
 * File state consolidated reports that cover hiring locations within one state
   that have fewer than 50 employees, select “Multiple Establishment - State
   Consolidated,” and specify the number of Multi-State Consolidated (MSC)
   locations in the space provided.

23. If my company is a Multiple Establishment employer filing a State
Consolidated Report, how do I specify the number of hiring locations?

Multiple establishment employers may file multiple establishment state
consolidated (MSC) reports that cover hiring locations within one state that
have fewer than 50 employees. The MSC Number indicates the number of hiring
locations when filing a VETS-4212 Multiple Establishment - State Consolidated
Report. The MSC number is a required field in order to submit a Multiple
Establishment - State Consolidated report and indicates the number of hiring
locations within the state consolidated report. The MSC number is not a required
field if a Multiple Establishment - State Consolidated Report is not being
filed.

24. What is the Company Number for the filing of the VETS-4212 Report?

If a VETS-4212 Report has been filed in the past, you will need to enter the
company number assigned in previously submitted reports. The company number is a
company identifier used when filing the VETS-4212 report. The company number
should start with a letter "T" followed by six digits. A company that filed in
2019 should use the same company number when filing in 2020. If a company number
is not available, please leave the field blank. If there are any questions
regarding a company number, please contact the VETS-4212 Customer Support Center
at 1-866-237-0275 or vets4212-customersupport@dolncc.dol.gov.

25. What is the “twelve month period ending” date for the VETS-4212 Report?

For purposes of completing VETS-4212 Reports, enter the end date for the 12
month “reporting period” used as the basis for filing the VETS-4212 Report. The
"reporting period" is the 12 months preceding the selected payroll period ending
date. To determine the “reporting period,” the contractor should select a date
in the applicable year between July 1 and August 31 that represents the end of a
payroll period. For example, if a contractor's payroll period ends on August 15,
2023, it would then go back one year to August 16, 2022. This is the year that
would represent the reporting period for the 2023 filing cycle. In addition, you
can use December 31 of the previous year.

26. Can federal contractors and subcontractors that file both the EEO-1 and the
VETS-4212 Report use the same employee “counting period” for both filings?

Yes. Certain federal contractors are required by the Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) to report annually on their
affirmative action efforts in employing veterans. They report this information
on the VETS-4212 Report. Federal contractors that file both the EEO-1 and the
VETS-4212 Report may choose the last full pay period in each calendar year for
the purposes of counting employees for both reports.

The EEO-1 allows employers to choose any one pay period between October 1 and
December 31 for the purpose of counting employees (the “workforce snapshot
period”). The VETS-4212 regulations allow contractors to count employees for the
VETS-4212 Report as of a December 31 “VEVRAA Ending Date” if the federal
contractor has “previous written approval” from the EEOC to do so for purposes
of submitting the EEO-1. The EEOC has already given blanket “previous written
approval” to federal contractors in the form of the implementation notice for
the revised EEO-1. DOL, which administers and enforces contractors’ obligations
under VEVRAA, has accepted this as the EEOC’s “previous written approval.” DOL
has also confirmed that if the last pay period of a calendar year does not end
exactly on December 31, it will not cite contractors with any violation for
using a VEVRAA Ending Date that falls on the last day of the final full pay
period in the calendar year. DOL notes that this does not affect the filing
deadline for the VETS-4212 Report; which must be filed no later than September
30 of the following calendar year.

27. What is the “Name of Parent Company” for the VETS-4212 Report?

For purposes of completing the VETS-4212 Report, enter the name and address of
the "Parent Company" for which the VETS-4212 Report is filed. The "Parent
Company" refers to any corporation which owns all or the majority stock of
another corporation so that the latter stands in relation to it as a subsidiary
company. For "Parent Company" headquarters location, complete the name and
address for the "Parent Company" headquarters, and leave blank the name and
address of the "Hiring Location." For "Hiring Locations" of a parent company,
complete the address for the "Parent Company" location, and the name and address
for the "Hiring Location."

28. Who should be listed as the “Company Contact” in the VETS-4212 Report?

For purposes of completing the VETS-4212 Report, enter the name, telephone
number, and email address for the "Company Contact" for the employer for which
the VETS-4212 Report is filed. The "Company Contact" is the primary point of
contact who is responsible for the management of the company, report, and user
information which is submitted through the VETS-4212 Reporting Application. The
"Company Contact" can be removed or designated by the registered user only.
Users will need to contact the VETS-4212 Service Desk and register with the
application in order to remove or change a "Company Contact."

29. What is the “Name of Hiring Location” for the VETS-4212 Report?

The term "Hiring Location" refers to an economic unit which produces goods or
services, such as a factory, office, store, or mine. In most instances, the
establishment is a single physical location engaged in one, or predominantly
one, economic activity. Employers required to file the VETS-4212 Report must
file a completed report for its establishment. Multiple establishment employers
with more than one hiring location must file a VETS-4212 Report for the
headquarters office and for each hiring location. If the multiple establishment
hiring location employs fewer than 50 persons, the employer may file separate
reports for each location or state consolidated reports that cover hiring
location establishments within one state.

30. What does the term “Employee” mean?

The term “Employee” for purposes of VETS-4212 reporting means any individual on
the payroll of an employer who is an employee for purposes of the employer’s
withholding of Social Security taxes (except insurance sales agents who are
considered to be employees for such purposes solely because of the provisions of
26 U.S.C. 3121(d)(3)(B)), including part-time and leased employees. The term
“Employee” does not include persons who are hired on a casual basis for a
specific job (e.g., persons at a construction site whose employment relationship
is expected to terminate with the end of the employee’s work at the site);
persons employed temporarily in an industry other than construction who are
hired through a hiring hall or some other referral arrangement; or persons on
the payroll of an employment agency who are referred by such agency for work to
be performed on the premises of another employer under that employer’s direction
and control, as provided in 41 CFR 61-300.2(b)(5).

31. What does the term “New Hire” mean?

A "New Hire" is a regular full-time or part-time employee who is hired and
included in the payroll for the first time during the reporting period. The
VETS-4212 reporting period is considered to be the 12-month period preceding the
ending date of the selected payroll period which is between July 1 and August 31
of the filing year, or the 12-month period preceding December 31 of the previous
year.

32. Who are considered a “Protected Veterans” under the Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA)?

For the purposes of VETS-4212 reporting, “Protected Veterans” are veterans who
are protected under the nondiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of
the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA); specifically
veterans who may be classified as:

naval, or air service are generally considered to be disabled if they are
entitled to compensation under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs. Veterans may also fall under this category if they were discharged or
released from active duty because of a service-connected disability. A complete
description of this veteran category can be found in regulation 41 CFR 61-300.

36. Who are considered to be “recently separated veterans” for filing a

individuals who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or
air service during the three-year period beginning on the date of each such
veteran’s discharge or release from active duty. Recently separated veterans
will be counted in the "Number of Employees" and/or the "New Hires" section of
the VETS-4212 Report accordingly. A complete description of this veteran
category can be found in regulation 41 CFR 61-300.

37. Is my company required to determine current employees’ veteran status?

Contractors and subcontractors are not required to survey their workforces to
solicit information about veterans’ status for the purpose of completing the
VETS-4212 Report. A contractor is permitted to solicit information about
veterans’ status in any lawful manner. For example, if a contractor periodically
surveys its employees for the purpose of updating personnel records, the
contractor could ask the employees to provide information regarding their
veterans’ status at that time. More information concerning what may or may not
be solicited can be found on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs' Frequently Asked Questions webpage.

38. Is my company required to determine prospective employees’ veteran status?

are veterans covered under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act
(VEVRAA) and wish to benefit under the contractor’s affirmative action program
(AAP) for covered veterans. The contractor may invite applicants to voluntarily
self-identify as a veteran at any time before the applicant begins his or her
