Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form? 

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
