                                    We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified
                                        people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we
                                        must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability
                                        or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

                                    Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who
                                        makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you
                                        want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance

                                    A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your “major life activities.” If you have or have ever had
                                        such a condition, you are a person with a disability. Disabilities include, but are not limited to:
