What If My Claim Is Denied?
If the EEOC determines it will not pursue or litigate the matter, it will issue a Notice of Right to Sue letter. This letter will be issued at least 180 days after the EEO investigation began. You will need this letter before pursuing a cause of action in district court to show that you exhausted your administrative remedies. You do not need a letter to pursue a private cause of action if your allegations concern sexual harassment or is under the ADA or Equal Pay Act.
