Veterans Reporting Opens Soon

The 2017 Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) filing season starts August 1, 2017, and the filing deadline is September 30, 2017.

Federal contractors and subcontractors must submit the VETS-4212 report on their affirmative action efforts with respect to veterans. All nonexempt federal contractors and subcontractors with a contract or subcontract in the amount of $150,000 or more with any department or agency of the United States for the procurement of personal property or non-personal services must comply with the reporting requirement.

VETS-4212 is available for free on HRCalifornia and also on the Department of Labor website.

The VETS reporting is required annually. You can submit the information using one of the following methods:

  • Filing on the VETS-4212 website;
  • Submitting reports via email to VETS4212-customersupport@dol.gov; or
