The Department of Labor (DOL) announced on December 20, 2024, that it has concluded that use of the current forms associated with the Farmworker Protection Rule “is infeasible in the short term, including during the current peak H-2A filing season.” As a result, DOL will use the forms applicable under the version of 20 CFR part 655, subpart B, effective June 27, 2024. The decision comes after consideration and in light of recent court orders, DOL said.
The announcement includes details on implementation procedures and technical assistance.
