OFLC Announces New Form ETA-9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, for Use Beginning May 3, 2021

The Office of Management and Budget approved the Office of Foreign Labor Certification’s (OFLC) revisions to the Form ETA-9141, corresponding appendix, and instructions. The revisions will better align information collection requirements with the Department’s regulations, provide greater clarity to employers on regulatory requirements, and standardize and streamline information collection to reduce employer time preparing applications. They will also promote greater efficiency and transparency in OFLC’s review and issuance of prevailing wage determinations. This new form must be used for all new prevailing wage applications beginning May 3, 2021.

Transition Schedule for Submitting Prevailing Wage Application Forms

  • May 3, 2021 5:59 a.m. EST, all initiated cases must be submitted prior to 6:00 a.m. EST, when system maintenance will begin. After maintenance begins, initiated cases not yet submitted will be deleted and a new application using the new Form ETA-9141 will need to be created.
  • May 3, 2021 8:00 a.m. EST (approximate) OFLC will only accept prevailing wage applications submitted using the new Form ETA-9141. OFLC will reject—without further review—prevailing wage paper applications submitted using the current version of Form ETA-9141.
