What are the time limits for filing charges of discrimination?
A charge of discrimination on the basis of disability must be filed with EEOC within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act.
If there is a state or local fair employment practices agency that enforces a law prohibiting the same alleged discriminatory practice, it is possible that charges may be filed with EEOC up to 300 days after the alleged discriminatory act. However, to protect legal rights, it is recommended that EEOC be contacted promptly when discrimination is believed to have occurred.
