Should Contractors Keep Using OFCCP’s Disability Self-ID Form If It Expires?

OFCCP’s disability self-identification form expired on April 30, but federal contractors may continue using Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability (CC-305) to comply with Section 503’s self-ID requirements.

OFCCP requires federal contractors to use this form to invite applicants and employees to voluntarily identify their disability status. OFCCP has asked the White House Office of Management and Budget to extend its authorization to use the current form while it considers rules that could change the self-ID requirement.

The form’s expiration date, which OMB established, doesn’t end contractors’ underlying obligations to comply with OFCCP’s self-ID regulations; instead, it limits OFCCP’s authority to mandate the form’s use. Contractors may continue to use Form CC-305 to satisfy the self-ID requirement, even if OFCCP’s authorization to require the form expires.
