Legal Alert: The OFCCP Disability Self-Identification Form Has Been Finalized

On January 22, 2014, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the OFCCP’s disability status form, which will be used by federal contractors. Revised regulations under the Rehabilitation Act will require federal contractors to invite applicants and employees to voluntarily identify themselves as disabled; the invitation must be extended using this specific form. Employers may use this form in an electronically fillable format provided that the electronic version displays the OMB number and expiration date, contains the exact text of the OMB approved form, uses a sans-serif font, and uses at least an 11-pitch font size.
