President’s Budget Would Exempt Federal Contractors Who Receive the HIRE Vets Medallion Award from VETS-4212 Filing Requirement
Federal contractors who apply for and receive the 2020 HIRE Vets Medallion Award under the President’s budget would not need to submit a VETS-4212 report in the following year.
Federal contractors and subcontractors with a contract of $150,000 or more are required to report veteran employment data (38 U.S. Code, Section 4212). The application for the HIRE Vets Medallion Award requires that employers report on their hiring, retention, and veteran support, including aggregate employment data. Through the passing and signing of the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017, the Administration and Congress determined that organizations are worthy of recognition as exemplary veteran employers if they meet the criteria of the HIRE Vets Medallion Award.
