What is the EIN number and why is it being requested?
The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is assigned by the Internal Revenue Service to all employers. Employers listing openings are identified by their EIN number, therefore submission of this number will assist the Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) in correctly identifying contractors and in linking our Federal contractors database with to verify submission of reporting. This information will assist VETS in updating and maintaining a current database, including removal of employers who are no longer required to submit the VETS-100 form.
