Title: Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors for Special Disabled Veterans and Veterans of the Vietnam Era | |
Abstract: OFCCP proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) 38 USC 4212, to conform with the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002 (JFVA). JFVA amended VEVRAA in four ways. First, JFVA raised contract coverage from $25,000 to $100,000. Second, JFVA granted VEVRAA protection to a new group of veterans-those who, while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Third, JFVA changed the definition of "recently separated veteran" to include "any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty." Fourth, JFVA changed "Special Disabled Veterans" to "Disabled Veterans," expanding the coverage to conform to 38 U.S.C. section 4211 (3). JFVA also superseded changes to VEVRAA from the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA) and the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 (VBHCIA). This proposal revises these regulations to conform to the requirements of JFVA. | |
