Survey of Protected Veteran Status


 

Stony Brook University is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 ("VEVRAA"), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment:

  1. Disabled veterans;
  2. Recently separated veterans;
  3. Active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and
  4. Armed Forces service medal veterans.

As a Government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we are required to submit a report to the U.S. Department of Labor each year identifying the number of our employees who are "protected veteran" belonging to the below classifications.

Protected Veteran Classifications are defined as below:

  • A "disabled veteran" is one of the following:
    • A veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
    • A person who was discharged or related from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
  • A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
  • An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. (Period of War Dates: Korean Conflict June 27, 1950 - January 31, 1955; Vietnam Era February 28, 1961 - May 7 1975 for veterans serving in the Republic of Vietnam or August 5, 1964 - May 7, 1975 for all other cases; Persian Gulf War August 2, 1990 - present)
  • An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.



If you are a disabled veteran it would assist us if you tell us whether there are accommodations we could make that would enable you to perform the essential functions of the job, including special equipment, changes in the physical layout of the job, changes in the way the job is customarily performed, provision of personal assistance services or other accommodations. This information will assist us in making reasonable accommodations for your disability.

Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The information provided will be used only in ways that are not inconsistent with the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistant Act of 1974, as amended.

The information you submit will be kept confidential, except that (i) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of disabled veterans, and regarding necessary accommodations; (ii) first aid and safety personnel may be informed, when and to the extent appropriate, if you have a condition that might require emergency treatment; and (iii) Government officials engaged in enforcing laws administered by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act, may be informed.

This Company abides by the requirements of 41 CFR 60-300.5(a). This regulation requires affirmative action by covered contractors to employ and advance in employment qualified protected veterans.
