The Department of Labor has published a final rule updating its regulations for the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA). This change is primarily a cleanup effort to fix the legal citations in the rulebook.
Why it matters: This is a largely administrative update. It ensures the rulebook is legally consistent with current executive orders and reflects the latest inflation adjustments. It does not change the core obligations of the law, but it prevents confusion for contractors and compliance officers who rely on the specific text of the regulations.
Who it affects
- Federal contractors who are required to comply with VEVRAA
The U.S. Department of Labor published this final rule in the Federal Register; readers should consult the original document for the specific updated dollar thresholds and regulatory text.
