SUMMARY:Section 503 After OFCCP's Final Rule: What's Gone\, What's Left\, and What's Next
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \nOFCCP’s final rule eliminating disability self-identification requirements marks one of the most significant changes to federal contractor compliance in more than a decade. Effective September 2026\, contractors will no longer be required to solicit disability status\, conduct utilization analyses\, or track disability applicant and hiring metrics for Section 503 compliance. \nJoin us for a practical discussion of OFCCP’s final rule\, the future of disability self-identification\, and the continuing nondiscrimination\, accessibility\, and affirmative action obligations that federal contractors must still navigate. Participants will learn how to: \n\nUnderstand the changes made by OFCCP’s final Section 503 rule and the disability compliance requirements that have been eliminated.\nEvaluate when disability-related inquiries remain permissible under the Americans with Disabilities Act and EEOC regulations.\nDistinguish between rescinded requirements and the Section 503 obligations that remain in effect for federal contractors.\nIdentify practical steps for updating affirmative action\, applicant tracking\, accommodation\, and recordkeeping practices in response to the new regulatory framework.\n\nParticipants will leave with actionable insights for updating policies\, processes\, and compliance programs to align with OFCCP’s new Section 503 landscape. \nRecording: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/9o5som2ul_sDFBoAxJAU19ZUOuUMw4G8LbqObcC57QqE6vG-Y3gggNeWK6xXjYOn.EfWd9w5Vko07q9Dh?startTime=1788458446000 \nPresentation: NILG_09032026_Section 503 After OFCCP’s Final Rule
