The Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Services (VETS) has announced that, due to technical problems implementing the electronic submission of VETS-100/VETS-100A forms, federal contractors required to file such forms have until November 1, 2011 to do so.

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment and Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, requires that federal contractors covered by the Act's affirmative action provisions submit annual reports to the Secretary of Labor regarding the number of protected veteran employees and new hires in their workforce. The regulations implementing this law require these reports, known as the VETS-100 or VETS-100A, be submitted by September 30 each year.
