questionnaire right away and mailing it back to us. Please send it to the EEOC office address given to
you by the EEOC staff person you spoke to or the address provided to you online. If you would like to
bring the questionnaire to us in person instead of mailing it to us, please call the number listed below to

You can find out more information about the laws we enforce and our charge-filing procedures on our
web site at www.eeoc.gov.
If you want to file a charge about job discrimination, there are time limits to file the charge. In many
states that limit is 300 days from the date you knew about the harm or negative job action, but in other
states it is 180 days. To protect your rights, it is important that you fill out the questionnaire and send it
to us right away.
Filling out and sending us this questionnaire does not mean that you have filed a charge. This
questionnaire will help us look at your situation and figure out if we can help you. After you send us this
questionnaire, someone from the EEOC should be contacting you by mail or by phone within 30 days to

Please check one of the boxes below to tell us what you would like us to do with the information you are providing on this
questionnaire. If you would like to file a charge of job discrimination, you must do so within either 180 or 300 days from
the day you knew about the discrimination. The amount of time you have depends on whether the employer is located in a
place where a state or local government agency has laws similar to the EEOC's laws. If you do not file a charge of
discrimination within the time limits, you will lose your rights. If you want to file a charge, you should check
Box 1, below. If you would like more information before deciding whether to file a charge or you are worried or
have concerns about EEOC's notifying the employer, union, or employment agency about your filing a charge,
you may wish to check Box 2, below.
Box 1
I want to file a charge of discrimination, and I authorize the EEOC to look into the discrimination I described above.
I understand that the EEOC must give the employer, union, or employment agency that I accuse of
discrimination information about the charge, including my name. I also understand that the EEOC can only
accept charges of job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or retaliation
for opposing discrimination.
Box 2
I want to talk to an EEOC employee before deciding whether to file a charge of discrimination. I understand that by
checking this box, I have not filed a charge with the EEOC. I also understand that I could lose my rights if I do not
file a charge in time.
