I. Background
The VETS/USERRA/VP Form 1010
(VETS–1010 Form) is used to file
complaints with the Department of
Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and
Training Service (VETS) under either
the Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act
(USERRA) or laws/regulations related to
Veterans’ Preference (VP) in Federal
employment.
On October 13, 1994, the Uniformed
Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA),
Public Law 103–353, 108 Stat. 3150 was
signed into law. Contained in Title 38,
U.S.C., Sections 4301–4335, USERRA is
the replacement for the Veterans’
Reemployment Rights (VRR) law. The
purpose of USERRA laws and
regulations for this information
collection requirement include: to
protect and facilitate the prompt
reemployment of members of the
uniformed services (to include National
Guard and Reserves); to minimize
disruption to the lives of persons who
perform service in the uniformed
services and their employers; and to
encourage individuals to participate in
non-career uniformed service. Also, to
prohibit discrimination in employment
and acts of reprisal against persons
because of their obligations in the
uniformed services, prior service,
intention to join the uniformed services,
filing of a USERRA claim, seeking
assistance concerning an alleged
violation, testifying in a proceeding, or
otherwise assisting in an investigation.
The Veterans Employment
Opportunities Act (VEOA) of 1998,
Public Law 105–339, 112 Stat. 3182,
contained in Title 5 U.S.C. 3330a–
3330(b), authorizes the Secretary of
Labor to provide assistance to
preference eligible individuals who
believe their rights under the veterans
preference laws have been violated. The
regulations for this information
collection requirement include: to
provide preference for certain Veterans
(preference eligibles) over others in
Federal hiring from competitive lists of
applicants; to allow access and open up
Federal job opportunities to Veterans
that might otherwise be closed to the
public; to provide preference eligibles
with preference over others in retention
during reductions in force in Federal
agencies.
Two new questions are included in
the VETS–1010 Form, but have no
significant impact on the burden hours
needed to complete the form. The
Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of
2008 requires VETS to include in its
USERRA Annual Report to Congress the

number of cases that involve a person
who has a service-connected disability
and the number of cases that involve
persons with different occupations or
persons seeking different occupations,
as designated by the Standard
Occupational Classification System. To
collect the required information, Section
I: Claimant Information and Section III:
Employer Information on the VETS–
1010 Form were modified.
Section I: Claimant Information,
question #7 asks: ‘‘Do you have a
military service-connected disability?’’
The current question #7 becomes
question #8 on the revised form.
Section III: Employer Information,
question #18 asks for ‘‘Title of the
Position or Occupation that is related to
your claim (the job that you either now
hold, or used to hold, or applied for,
with this employer): lll’’
Finally, a centralized mailing address
is added to the VETS–1010 Form:
Veterans’ Employment and Training
Service, U.S. Department of Labor,
Attention: Form 1010, 61 Forsyth Street,
SW., Room 6T85, Atlanta, Georgia

the agency to better track USERRA and
VP claims, thus providing improved
service to our Veteran claimants. VETS
staff in Atlanta will record incoming
forms and electronically direct the claim
to the appropriate VETS’ regional office
and investigator.

the current Office of Management and
Budget approval of the paperwork
requirements for VETS–1010 Form.
