How we checked this

The EEOC rule is from eeoc.gov: 180 days, extended to 300 where a state or local agency enforces a similar law. State agency deadlines were compared across two sources and confirmed on agency websites where they differed (Hawaii, Illinois, Tennessee). Federal employees follow a different 45-day process. Last checked: November 12, 2026. Laws change; confirm with the state agency or a licensed professional before acting.

Cross-checked sources agree   Checked on official source confirmed on a government, court or legislature site   From a statute-cited table one detailed source   Under review sources disagree; read the note and the law.
