OFCCP Announces August 2020 Deadline To Implement New Disability Self-ID Form

On May 8, 2020, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) announced an August 4, 2020, deadline for federal contractors and subcontractors to implement a new disability self-identification form to use when soliciting disability status from applicants and employees. The announcement came a few days after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved a revised self-identification form that OFCCP first proposed in October 2019.

OFCCP explains the August 2020, implementation deadline will allow covered contractors time to incorporate the revised disability form into their electronic systems, including applicant tracking systems. OFCCP notes that covered contractors should continue using the disability self-identification form that technically expired in January 2020, until they implement the revised self-identification form.
