OFCCP Compliance

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) requires covered federal contractors and subcontractors to list their employment openings with the "appropriate employment service-delivery system"(wherever Wagner-Peyser funding exists).

Read the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended.

VEVRAA prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment against protected veterans, and requires these employers to take affirmative action to recruit, hire, promote, and retain these veterans. As revised, the regulations strengthen the affirmative action provisions of the regulations to aid contractors in their efforts to recruit and hire protected veterans and improve job opportunities for protected veterans.

After new guidance was released by OFCCP in September 2013, and in response to questions from state workforce agencies, NASWA provided a briefing on the impact the new VEVRAA regulations might have at the state level.

NASWA and our National Labor Exchange partner, Direct Employers Association (DirectEmployers), hosted a webinar with state workforce agency staff to help states better understand the role they play as a verifying, independent third party during federal contract compliance audits
