The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Veterans' Employment & Training Service (VETS) announced that it extended the 2012 deadline for federal contractors to submit their VETS-100/VETS-100A reporting forms from September 30, 2012 to October 31, 2012.

All paper reports and electronic files received on or before October 31, 2012 will be considered part of the 2012 filing and will not be considered late.

Federal contractors use the VETS-100/VETS-100A reporting forms to detail the number of protected veteran employees and new hires in their workforce. Regulations require contractors to submit this form by September 30 of each year.

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment and Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) requires eligible federal contractors to submit the VETS-100/VETS-100A annual reports to the Secretary of Labor.
