OFCCP Ordered to Stop All Investigative & Enforcement Actions Under Rescinded Executive Order 11246

The Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Vince Macone has directed OFCCP to halt all enforcement audits and investigations under Executive Order 11246, which was revoked last week by President Trump.


OFCCP will notify government contractors by Friday January 31, 2025 that the race and gender sections of open audits and investigations will be closed.


The elements of open audits and investigations related to military veterans and individuals with disabilities will be paused, pending further deliberation and forthcoming guidance.


What Happens Next?


This is a developing situation. Silberman Law will monitor the developments and will issue updates as more information becomes available.


For Silberman Law clients with open or pending OFCCP audits, we will follow up with you later today.



If you have questions or would like to discuss, please reply to this Alert or contact the Silberman Law legal professional with whom you work.
