No FEAR Act

Pursuant to the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act Public Law 107-174, agencies must pay for settlements, awards or judgments against them in whistleblower and discrimination cases out of their own budgets. The law also requires that employees be notified of their rights under discrimination laws and the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA), 5 USC 2302(c). The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (www.osc.gov) is responsible for ensuring that agencies meet their obligations to inform and educate their employees regarding the WPA. For the complete text of the employee’s notification, please see the No FEAR Act Notice.

The United States Secret Service’s public web site contains statistical information in accordance with the No FEAR Act. This data is updated on a quarterly basis.

NOTIFICATION OF FINAL AGENCY ACTION

Findings of Discrimination (Including Retaliation)

The Elijah E. Cummings Antidiscrimination Act of 2020 amended the No FEAR Act and requires all agencies, including the United States Secret Service, to post findings of discrimination (including retaliation) from any final action of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or a court of jurisdiction, once all appeals are exhausted. Agencies must publish Notices for one year. Findings of discrimination, if any, are listed below:
