The Office of Management and Budget has extended Form CC-305, the standardised disability self-identification form used by covered federal contractors, through July 31, 2029.
The renewal was approved on July 16, 2026, and carries no substantive changes from the previous version of the form, which expired on April 30, 2026.
Form CC-305, titled Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability, invites applicants and employees of covered contractors to voluntarily disclose their disability status.
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, operating under the OMB, processed the renewal as part of the standard regulatory approval process for federal data collection instruments.
Federal contractors and subcontractors subject to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are required to use this OMB-approved form bearing the updated expiration date.
Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits covered contractors and subcontractors from discriminating against job applicants and employees with disabilities.
The law also requires those contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified individuals with disabilities.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs first introduced Form CC-305 in 2014 as the standardised instrument for meeting the voluntary self-identification requirement.
The renewal comes despite ongoing proposals to amend or rescind the disability data collection, signalling that the current framework remains intact for the foreseeable future.
Covered contractors should update their recruitment and onboarding processes to reflect the new expiration date now appearing on the renewed form.
Employers operating under these obligations are advised to audit their current use of Form CC-305 to ensure compliance with the extended approval period running through 2029.
Failure to use the current OMB-approved version of the form could create compliance risks for contractors subject to OFCCP oversight and enforcement activity.
