On May 12, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the 2024 EEO-1 Instruction Booklet submitted by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) without changes. The now approved 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection Instruction Booklet eliminates the option to report non-binary employees, stating that the reporting provides “only binary options (i.e., male or female) for reporting employee counts.” It also sets a shortened reporting period stating that the filing platform will open on May 20, 2025, and close on June 24, 2025.

  • The OMP approved the EEOC’s proposed 2024 instruction booklet on EEO-1 data collection on May 12, 2025.
  • The approved 2024 instruction booklet states that the data collection period will open on May 20, 2025, and close at 11:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 24, 2025.
  • The approved 2024 instruction booklet removes the option to provide information about non-binary employees.

While the EEOC has not yet posted updates on the EEO-1 landing page, it is expected that the agency will promptly open the 2024 EEO-1 filing platform. While it is not clear if the platform will open on May 20, 2025, it is expected that once the EEOC opens the platform, it will set a filing period of five weeks. Due to the expected opening of the filing platform and the shortened filing period, EEO-1 filers may want to consider working now toward gathering the data necessary for the filings.
