EEOC headquarters, Washington DC field office relocate
The national headquarters and the Washington, DC field office (WFO) of the EEOC are relocating to 131 M Street, NE, Fourth Floor, Suite 4NWO2F, Washington, DC 20507-0100, according to a November 6, 2008, announcement from the federal agency. The EEOC will be conducting business at its new location beginning November 19, 2008. All telephone numbers, fax numbers and email addresses will remain the same.
The lease for the federal agency’s headquarters at 1801 L Street, NW expired in July 2008. In May 2007, the General Services Administration announced the signing of a 10-year lease for office space at the EEOC’s new location, also known as One NoMa Station. NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) is an emerging mixed-use neighborhood north of the US Capitol and Union Station.
The WFO is responsible for processing charges of discrimination against private, state and local government employers in the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia, and for administering hearings regarding complaints against federal government employers in these geographic areas. One of 53 EEOC field offices nationwide, the WFO has shared space with the agency’s headquarters staff since August 2004. The public is welcome to contact the WFO in person. Walk-in hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 1 pm, with daily hours of operation from 8 am to 4:30 pm. The WFO can be reached by phone at: (202) 419-0713 (voice) and (202) 419-0702 (TTY), or by fax at (202) 419-0740.

Obama to inherit legal battle over DHS's no-match rule
Judge Charles Breyer of the Northern District of California has denied a request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for an expedited briefing schedule on its motions to lift a preliminary injunction on the federal agency's much beleaguered no-match rule, and for summary judgment, instead adopting the briefing schedule proposed by the plaintiffs, which will leave the case unresolved until at least March 2009.
