Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

Enforcement work versus the $338.4 million award ledger

The EEOC receives employment-discrimination charges and may sue or conciliate. None of those case counts are in this packet. $338,381,166.88 is what the commission obligated on federal awards through FY2026: field-office support, expert services, facilities, technology, and other instruments USAspending stores as awards. A year with more charges filed does not, by itself, change this total. A new nationwide IT vehicle can change it without any change in charge volume.

Readers looking for relief recovered for workers will not find it in the 1,004-award table. Monetary benefits in EEOC settlements are not the same object as agency obligations to vendors. This page stays on the USAspending side of that line.

1,004 awards and a $337,000 mean

$338,381,166.88 divided by 1,004 awards is about $337,032 per award. The count itself is the story as much as the mean: just over a thousand instruments, enough to populate many states if field offices and local vendors are tagged in geography fields. The packet still offers no median and no contract-versus-assistance split.

One thousand four awards is also a reminder that the agency page is a roll-up. Vendor names, NAICS codes, and periods of performance live on individual USAspending award records. SpendingVault’s tables summarize; they do not replace the award-level file.

Questions

How much has the EEOC obligated on USAspending?

USAspending.gov shows $338,381,166.88 in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission obligations through FY2026 on 1,004 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 045 is the filter. The total is not recovered worker relief and not an outlay sum. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 045 is the source for the current 1004-award book.

Do the 1,004 awards include discrimination cases?

No. The 1,004 count is USAspending award instruments—contracts and other awards the EEOC made. Charges, lawsuits, and settlements are separate EEOC caseload statistics. Average obligation is about $337,032 if you divide $338.4 million by 1,004. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 045?

045 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/045/. Labor and Justice Department civil-rights awards use other codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Is $338 million the EEOC’s annual budget?

No. The figure is cumulative obligations through fiscal year 2026, not a single-year appropriation. Investigator and attorney salaries generally do not appear as USAspending awards. Outlays are unpublished in this packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
