OMB Approves OFCCP’s Section 503 Self-Identification Form The Office of Management and Budget approved the Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability form required by the new regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) on January 22, 2014. This approval expires on January 31, 2017. Federal contractors must use this form to invite job applicants and employees to voluntarily self-identify as an individual with a disability as required by 41 CFR 60-741.42 of the new regulations. Written in plain English, the form is slightly more than one page long. It provides employees and job applicants three options for self-disclosure, provides examples of disabilities, highlights that disclosure is voluntary and confidential, and includes a short paragraph on reasonable accommodation.
