President’s Budget Would Relieve VETS-4212 Filing Requirement for Federal Contractors Who Receive the HIRE Vets Medallion Award

Federal contractors who apply for and receive the 2020 HIRE Vets Medallion Award would not need to submit a VETS-4212 report in the year following receipt of a HIRE Vets Medallion Award under the President’s budget.

Federal contractors and subcontractors with a contract of $150,000 or more are required to report veteran employment data (38 U.S. Code, Section 4212).  The application for the HIRE Vets Medallion Award requires that employers report on their hiring, retention, and support of veterans, including aggregate employment data. Through the passage and signing of the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (“HIRE Vets Act”), the Administration and Congress determined that organizations are worthy of recognition as exemplary veteran employers if they meet the criteria of the HIRE Vets Medallion Award.
