+ What is a referral state?

The EEOC works with Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs, like the FCHR) to allow for complaints, which raise claims under both state and local laws prohibiting employment discrimination, as well as the federal laws enforced by the EEOC, to be dual-filed with both agencies. This makes it more efficient for processing and customer-friendly for complainants who only need to file one complaint with either the EEOC or the FCHR. The agencies agree that one agency will investigate, and both state and federal rights are preserved for the complainant through the dual-filing process. Typically, the deadline to file with the EEOC is 180 days after the discrimination occurred, but since Florida operates as a referral state in this context, the EEOC’s filing deadline is extended to 300 days.
