EEOC Public Portal User’s Guide Vol 1 – Getting Started June 23, 2023
5.1 | FILING WITH EEOC
The Filing with EEOC link allows you to submit an inquiry, hearing request, an appeal, or a request for reconsideration to the EEOC. After you select the Filing with EEOC link, you will be asked to select the type of employer you work for, worked for, or applied to, and then be directed to the appropriate submission process. (NOTE: If you are an attorney/representative for a complainant do not use this link. You cannot submit a hearing request, file an appeal, or submit a RFR on behalf of your client; only your client can perform these actions.)

The My Cases link allows you to track the process of your online inquiries, charges, hearing requests, and/or appeals, respond to the EEOC when an action is required, maintain information on your representatives and your personal contact information, and view/submit documents associated with your case. If you submitted an online inquiry, the My Cases link will allow you to schedule an interview with the EEOC, enter supplemental information, or sign a Charge of Discrimination, depending on where you are in the process.

Congratulations! You're now booked up on Chapter 5 from 'Volume 1: Getting Started' of the EEOC's Public Portal User's Guide!
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine one of these passages in order to protect yourself from organizations that have discriminated against you. Please stay vigilant, though, because you might encounter severe pitfalls along the way (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
