How it works

New Hampshire has a work-sharing agreement with the EEOC. A charge filed with New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights is generally also considered filed with the EEOC ("dual-filed"), and vice versa. You usually only need to file once.

Key notes

New Hampshire's 180-day state deadline is shorter than the federal window — file with the EEOC simultaneously to preserve the full 300-day federal period.
