The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has released a revised Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form (CC-305). Federal contractors must implement the new form by July 25, 2023.

The details

By way of background, federal contractors must invite applicants to self-identify as an individual with a disability (IWD) at both the pre-offer and post-offer phases of the application process. Contractors must also invite their employees to self-identify as IWDs every five years.

Federal contractors must use the Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form (CC-305) to meet these requirements.

The OFCCP recently revised the form to update the preferred language for disabilities and to include additional examples of disabilities. Contractors have until July 25, 2023, to start using it.

The only content of the form that contractors may modify or delete is the "For Employer Use Only" section, which was added to give contractors flexibility to enhance their recordkeeping for data analysis required by the OFCCP's regulations.

Next steps

If you are a federal contractor:

  • Implement the new version of the form by July 25, 2023.
  • Make sure anyone involved in contractor compliance is made aware of the new version.
Please contact your ADP Service Representative with any questions.
