EEOC Stops Issuing Right- to- Sue Letters

The EEOC has stopped issuing right-to-sue letters indefinitely to delay the start of litigation deadlines. The issuance of these right-to-sue letters starts the clock on the charging party’s statutory obligation to file suit within 90 days of receipt of the letter. Right-to-sue letters indicate whether the Commission found a violation of the relevant employment discrimination statutes, where the EEOC does not resolve a for-cause finding through conciliation or does not file its own suit against the employer, or where the EEOC makes a no-cause finding.
