OMB Self-ID Disability Form Use

Anonymous - October 2, 2017
Back to Ask the Experts

Hello, I like to know if during the 5 year solicitation to your workforce and also for the 2 1/2 year reminder, is the OMB Self-ID Disability Form used to do so or are you able to create simply a electronic method that asks the same information, but not the physical form itself. In other words, our company had created a simple electronic form that asks the employee to select out of the following options: “Yes, I have a disability (or previously had a disability), “No, I don’t have a disability”, or “I don’t wish to answer”. They then must include a digital signature as well as confirm that the information is accurate, by indicating “Yes”. The associates were given 2 weeks to complete the survey and believe it might be time stamped. All the information that gets updated in our HRIS without anyone actually physically seeing the information. We don’t mention anything about reasonable accommodation on the e-mail communication or on the electronic form itself. That all said, are we fine with keeping the electronic form with possibly adding the reasonable accommodation language in during the 5 years or do we need to use the actual physical OMB form. Additionally, during the 2 1/2 year reminder, could we use our company created electronic form? Please advise. Thank you.
