Updated Disability Self-Identification Form for Federal Contractors.

The Office of Management and Budget has released an updated version of the “Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability” form that federal contractors and sub-contractors are required to use for applicants and employees.

Federal (sub)contractors must invite applicants to self-identify as an individual with a disability both prior to making a job offer and after a job offer is made. In addition, current employees must also be asked at least every five years to self-identify voluntarily as an individual with a disability. In all cases, the government form must be used – employers may not alter the form in any way. The updated form should be used starting immediately.
