Final Decision

The Agency will issue a FAD when dismissing an entire complaint, upon your requesting an immediate FAD, or when you fail to elect an option within 30 days from receiving the ROI. The FAD will consist of findings by the Agency on the merits of each issue in the complaint, or, as appropriate, the rationale for dismissing any claim in the complaint, and when discrimination is found, appropriate remedies and relief. You will be provided appeal rights and the right to file a civil action in federal district court, the name of the proper defendant in the lawsuit and applicable time limits for appeals and lawsuits.
