Labor Secretary Lifts Abeyance on OFCCP Disability and Veteran Matters
On July 2, 2025, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) notified the contractor community about U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary’s Order 08-2025, which lifted the abeyance previously instituted in January 2025 related to OFCCP’s investigative and enforcement activities. OFCCP made clear that contractor obligations continue as to individuals with disabilities under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and protected veterans under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA).
