        "text": "In California, you generally have one year from the date of the last act of harassment to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). For certain types of claims or under specific circumstances, this timeframe can be extended. Federal complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) typically have a 300-day deadline from the date of the harassment. It is critical to understand these deadlines, as missing them can significantly impact your ability to pursue a claim. An attorney can help you navigate these timelines.",
