Filing a Formal EEO Complaint in a Timely Manner

To file a formal complaint, you must put your complaint in writing and sign it. Your attorney, if one represents you, may sign it instead. If someone who is not an attorney represents you, you must sign the complaint yourself and designate your representative in writing.

EEOC regulations require that EEO complaints against the Postal Service must be filed with the Postal Service.

• You may use PS Form 2565, EEO Complaint of Discrimination in the Postal Service, to file your formal EEO complaint.
• To be timely, you must mail your formal EEO complaint to the National Equal Employment Opportunity Investigative Services Office (NEEOISO) postmarked no later than 15 calendar days after you receive PS Form 2579, Notice of Right to File. Following is the address to which you must mail your complaint:
