After filing the formal complaint, the Agency may issue an acceptance letter, a partial acceptance dismissal letter, or a dismissal letter. These letters show that the agency you’re accusing is either accepting or denying all or part of the claims in the formal complaint. It is important that you review this letter carefully and assure that it covers all the bases and issues you desire. If it does not, you should write a letter within the time period allowed, often 5 or 7 days, to the Agency explaining why the Agency incorrectly determined the bases and/or issues. The Agency very often will not adjust the bases or issues accordingly, but you can address your concerns at trial or on appeal. The issue can be raised again before an EEOC Administrative Judge, in the case of a partial acceptance dismissal, or the EEOC Office of Federal Operations, in the case of a complete dismissal.
