EEOC's new login.gov requirement is making it harder for the Human Relations Commission to help residents file federal job-discrimination complaints
Who it touches
- job discrimination complainants without a login.gov account
Tracked in the archive
Director Anne-Therese Ryan said she ran into the login.gov requirement this month while helping a resident who wanted to file a job-discrimination complaint, and ended up filing it with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission instead.
She said the federal login.gov system — the same multi-factor login used for things like TSA PreCheck — is too extensive a process for her office to walk people through, and that Indiana's civil rights commission still forwards its Indiana cases to the EEOC anyway under an existing agreement.
