4 Ways to Contact the EEOC

If you believe you have been discriminated against at work, you can start the process of reporting this information to the EEOC in 4 ways:

1. BY PHONE:
   Call 1-800-669-4000 to speak with an EEOC representative
   who can answer questions you may have. Free interpreters are
   available to callers in over 200 languages. ASL Video Phone at
   1-844-234-5122 and TTY at 1-800-669-6820.
2. ONLINE:
   The EEOC’s Public Portal guides you through a few questions to
   help determine whether the EEOC is the right federal agency to
   handle your concerns. You can also use the portal to schedule an
   interview with the EEOC.
3. IN PERSON:
   The EEOC has 53 field offices serving every state and
   U.S. territory. Our office locations can be found at
   EEOC.gov. Information about state or local Fair
   Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) that may be
   available to assist you with your employment
   discrimination concerns can also be found on each EEOC
   office webpage, under the “state, local and tribal
   programs“ tab. We also provide EEOC office locations
   and FEPA information by phone.
4. BY MAIL:
   You can send the EEOC a signed letter
   describing your employment discrimination
   concerns. This signed letter becomes what
   the EEOC calls a “charge of discrimination”
   that states an employer, union, or employment
   agency unlawfully discriminated against you.
   EEOC.gov has a list of information that you
   need to include in the letter. The EEOC will
   review your letter and let you know if more
   information is needed.
