Executive Order 14173 (January 21, 2025) and subsequent U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) directives have effectively suspended the enforcement activities of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) related to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) and Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. However, since VEVRAA and Section 503 have not been repealed as law, federal contractors remain legally obligated to maintain compliance internally, but without federal oversight. If a contract officer requires certification of an existing reporting system (such as an Affirmative Action Plan or AAP) to track VEVRAA and Section 503 compliance, an employer may provide such certification, assuming they were collecting AAP data. However, employers do not need to continue referencing AAPs in their handbooks given the current enforcement freeze.
