President Signs FY 2010 Appropriation Bill; EEOC and DOL See Significant Increases

In the appropriations legislation signed by President Obama on December 16, 2009, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs will receive significant increases in funding for fiscal year 2010.

The EEOC will receive the amount originally requested by the president: $367,303,000 and subsequently passed by the Congress. This is a seven percent increase in funding. http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxmlc111/h3288_enr.xml

OFCCP will reportedly receive an increase of sixteen percent of its previous budget and 213 additional staff originally requested by the Administration (FTEs). http://www.dol.gov/dol/budget/2010/PDF/CBJ-2010-V2-03.pdf
