New Vets-4212 form to replace Vets-100A

The Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) submitted a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPR) to the Federal Register “to propose revisions to the regulations implementing the reporting requirements under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, (“VEVRAA”).” The proposed rule is intended to simplify the reporting requirements that federal contractors have to meet. Here are the highlights of the proposed changes:

The proposed changes  include to eliminate the VETS-100 form; use the new VETS-4212 form (draft form is available here); the new VETS-4212 form would include the same veteran classification terms and; eliminate the requirement for employers to collect hiring information on each sub-category of protected veteran because some veterans qualify in more than one category.

The new regulation would eliminate double counting and eliminate the possible, inadvertent identification of disabled veterans, etc. By the time the regulations become effective, employers would only need to collect information for the aggregated number of “protected veterans”.
