you can file a complaint with:
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days of the alleged discrimination (according to some state or local laws, you can take up to 300 days).
For more specific information about ADA requirements affecting employment, contact the EEOC at 800-669-4000 or 800-669-6820 (TDD).
For general ADA information, answers to specific technical questions, free ADA materials, or information about filing a complaint, call 800-514-0301 or 800-514-0383 (TDD).
