Case: Discrimination/EEOC Charge (D.D.C.)

A District of Columbia federal court won’t dismiss as untimely an employee’s age discrimination claim against D.C. Water and Sewer Authority, because his EEOC Intake Questionnaire was filed within the 300-day limitations period. The questionnaire constitutes a “charge” under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, because he laid out the basic facts as to his claim and specifically called the EEOC to take action by stating “I am requesting that the EEOC investigate the claims contained in this supplement.” The case is Coleman v. D.C. Water & Sewer Auth., 2018 BL 466111, D.D.C., No. 18-cv-01215 (APM), 12/17/18.
