Which document allows a charging party to sue after EEOC investigation?

• A. Subpoena
• B. Consent decree
• C. Writ of mandamus
• D. Right to sue letter

Answer: (D)

After the EEOC finishes its investigation and decides not to pursue the case further (or after conciliation efforts fail), it issues a Right to Sue letter to the charging party. This letter lets the claimant file a civil lawsuit in federal court on the charges, setting a deadline to do so (often within 90 days of receiving the notice). The document is specifically about enabling private legal action, not about compelling testimony, settling through a decree, or ordering agency action. A subpoena, a consent decree, and a writ of mandamus serve different purposes in the legal process.
