Voluntary Self-Identification of Veterans
This employer is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to
take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans;
(3)
a
ctive duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans. These classifications
are defined as follows:
A “d
isabled veteran” is one of the following:
• A veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the
receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs; or
• A person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A “re
cently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's
discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military,
ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been
authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An “
Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground,
naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was
awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
Pro
tected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA—the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment in order to perform service in the uniformed service, you
may be entitled to be reemployed by your employer in the position you would have obtained with reasonable certainty
if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment
and Training Service (VETS), toll-free, at 1-866-4-USA-DOL.
