The Department of Labor had planned to begin accepting electronic submissions of VETS 100/VETS-100A forms on August 1, 2011. However, there are currently technical problems preventing contractors from carrying out these submissions. The Department is working to correct the problems, and anticipates having them resolved within the next 60 days. Accordingly, the Department anticipates that the electronic filing system will go online October 1, 2011.

To address the delays in reporting caused by these technical problems, the Department will not initiate enforcement actions against contractors who submit the VETS-100/VETS-100A from October 1, 2011 through November 30, 2011. Unless a further update is given or other recognized exceptions apply, the Department may initiate enforcement actions against contractors who do not submit VETS-100/VETS-100A forms by November 30, 2011.

Because the VETS 100 system is not currently available, it is not possible to register or file at all for the 2011 cycle. Registration and filing will can only be completed once the application is available in October.
