Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Form CC-305 OMB Control Number 1250-0005 Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.
We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities.
The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.
To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one.
People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential.
No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military,
ground, naval, or air service.
-
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in
a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

subject to VEVRAA, we request this information to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Your decision to
provide the relevant information is purely voluntary on your part, and refusal to provide such information will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The information will
not be used in a manner inconsistent with VEVRAA, as amended.
The information will be kept confidential, except that (i) supervisors and managers may

necessary accommodations; (ii) first aid and safety personnel may be informed, when and to the
