When you call the EOCL, you will speak with an intake specialist, not an EEO counselor. The intake specialist gathers basic information to start the process, including your name and contact information, duty location, job title, supervisor’s name, a brief description of what happened, key dates, who was involved, and the basis for discrimination you believe applies. They may also ask what type of action is involved, such as discipline, harassment, or denial of accommodation. You do not need to provide a detailed statement during this call. Keep your answers factual and general, and contact a Union steward before or after calling for guidance.
