Fillable Form EEOC Intake Questionnaire

What is the EEOC Intake Questionnaire?

The EEOC Intake Questionnaire is a form by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). A professional uses it if he or she plans to file a charge against or sue his or her employer in court.

The EEOC Intake Questionnaire is a four-page document. If you are the one filing it, it requires that you answer all the questions as completely and accurately as possible, as the information you will provide will enable the EEOC office to determine if your situation is covered by the laws they enforce or not. You may attach additional pages or documents to complete your responses.

To get information about the laws that the EEOC enforces and the charge -filing procedures, you may visit their official website at eeoc.gov.
