factual basis of the allegation(s) discussed during pre-complaint EEO counseling. This form

This is to inform you that, because the matters brought to our attention have not been resolved, you are
now entitled to file a formal EEO discrimination complaint with the Department of the Treasury.
If you wish to file a formal complaint, it must be in writing signed by you. If your designated representative is an
attorney, they may sign on your behalf. The complaint must be filed within fifteen (15) calendar days after
receipt of this Notice. The complaint form and instructions for filing are available here3.
If you did not contact an EEO Official within 45 days from the date of the matter you allege to be discriminatory,
or if you do not file the formal complaint within 15 calendar days of receipt of this Notice, please use section 22
of the formal complaint form to explain why you did not meet the time requirements. The Department will
evaluate this information when deciding whether to accept your complaint for investigation.
If you believe you were subjected to prohibited age discrimination (40 years of age and older), as an alternative
to filing a complaint under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations, you may file a civil
action in an appropriate U.S. District Court under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act against the
Secretary of the Treasury, provided that you inform the EEOC of your intent to sue at least 30 calendar days in
advance of filing suit. Such notice must be filed in writing with EEOC, at P.O. Box 77960, Washington, D.C.
20013, or by personal delivery or facsimile within 180 days of the occurrence of the alleged unlawful practice.
If you are filing a claim of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity (LGBT), you may also
elect to file with the Office of Special Counsel (www.osc.gov).
