INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINT OF EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS
TDF 62-03.5 (REV. 11/2015 EDITION)
(Read the following instructions carefully before you complete this form)
(Please complete all items on the complaint form)
GENERAL: This form is to be used to file a formal complaint of discrimination if you are an applicant for
employment with the Department of the Treasury, or a present or former Department of the Treasury employee and:
1) believe you have been discriminated against because of your race, color, religion, sex (including
pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, age (40 years or older at the time of
the event giving rise to your claim), disability, protected genetic information, or in reprisal for opposition
to activities protected by civil rights statutes or participating in the EEO process, or
2) believe you have been discriminated against because of your parental status. Your claim is not covered
under a statutory basis, but will be processed under a parallel procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In certain situations, the information provided in Part III of the attached complaint form

may be used in lieu of an affidavit in the investigation of your complaint. Accordingly, the information you
provide in this part should be brief, clear, and complete.
WHEN TO FILE: In accordance with 29 CFR 1614.106, your formal complaint must be filed within 15
calendar days of the date you received the Notice of Right to File a Discrimination Complaint form from
your EEO Counselor. You must sign and date your complaint. If you are represented by an attorney, the
attorney may sign the complaint on your behalf.

This time limit may be extended:
1) if you show that you were not notified of the time limits and were not otherwise aware of them, or
2) if you were prevented by circumstances beyond your control from submitting the matter within the time
limit, or
3) for other reasons considered sufficient by the Department.
REPRESENTATION: You may have a representative of your own choosing at all stages of the processing of your
complaint. However, your representative will be disqualified if such representation would conflict with the official
or collateral duties of the representative. No EEO Counselor, EEO Investigator or EEO Officer may serve as a
representative. (Your representative need not be an attorney, but only an attorney representative may sign the
complaint on your behalf.)
WHERE TO FILE: In accordance with 29 CFR 1614.106(c), your written complaint must be signed by you or

your attorney. The complaint should be filed with the Department of the Treasury. Filing instructions are
contained in the “Notice of Right to File” letter, which was provided by your EEO Counselor. Keep a copy of
the completed complaint form for your records.

discrimination with the Department of the Treasury on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex (including
pregnancy or LGBT), national origin, age, disability, protected genetic information, parental status, or
retaliation. Information provided on this form will be used by the Department of the Treasury to determine
whether the complaint was timely filed and whether the allegations in the complaint are within the purview of

the complaint, and to reach a decision on the complaint. This form may also be used to record an amendment
