• 2026-08-21 — Modifications to the Regulations Implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended: cross-connection with section-503-rehabilitation-act: Both govern OFCCP-enforced affirmative-action obligations on federal contractors (disability under Section 503; protected veterans under VEVRAA); regulatory rewrites tend to move in parallel.

• 2026-08-21 — Modifications to the Regulations Implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as Amended: DOL final rule conforms VEVRAA regulations by removing cross-references to the revoked Executive Order 11246 and updates the inflation-adjusted contract dollar thresholds that trigger VEVRAA coverage; framed as a technical update that does not alter core affirmative-action obligations for protected veterans.
