Summary

This bulletin is being superseded due to the replacement of gender with sex on all documentation. All other information remains the same.

Additional options are being added for the purpose of recording disability data reported from Standard Form (SF) 256, Self Identification of Disability. These new options will be available when selecting a disability on the Employee Personal Page (EPP) or when viewing disability codes in either the Information/Research Inquiry System (IRIS) or the Table Management System (TMGT). This change also impacts the Reporting (REPT) and HR and Payroll Processing (HRPAY) categories. Information on those changes can be accessed in the Resources section of this bulletin.
