The 2013 filing cycle for the VETS 100/100A report began August 1, 2013, and the filing deadline for the reports is September 30. Filing information is available on the DOL’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) website:

The U.S. Department of Labor Veterans' Employment and Training service (VETS) and Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have supported affirmative actions to employ and advance in employment, "covered veterans" since 2008. This affirmative action program was legislatively mandated under 38 U.S. Code, Sections 4211 and 4212, codified at 41 CFR Sections 61-250 and 61-300, respectively, contractors and subcontractors who enter into, or modify a contract or subcontract with the federal government, and whose contract meets the criteria set forth in the above legislation/regulations, are required to report annually on their affirmative action efforts in employing veterans.
The report required for contractors with federal contracts that were entered into before December 1, 2003 and have a value of $25,000 or more is the VETS-100 report. This report is subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Act (VEVRA). In 2002 the Job for Veterans Act amended VEVRA. The report required for contracts entered on or after December 1, 2003 in the amount of $100,000 or more is the VETS-100A report. A contract modified on or after December 1, 2003, which was entered into before December 1, 2003, constitutes a new contract—and, therefore, requires the contractor to file a VETS-100A report (if the $100,000 or more threshold is met).
