Complaints Branch

The Complaints Branch (CB) is responsible for administering the Agency's Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Complaints and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes to ensure compliance with Federal statutes that prohibit discrimination in hiring, employment, and program delivery for applicants, customers and employees. The CB implements the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Agriculture's EEO policies in processing allegations of employment discrimination. We are comprised of several teams that address the Civil Rights Divisions' goals and initiatives.

Initiatives:
