While Title VII and the ADA expressly require the filing of a verified charge (charge “shall be in writing under oath or affirmation,” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(b)), the ADEA does not, hence the cases that have allowed an ADEA claim to proceed upon the filing of an Intake Questionnaire, letter or other unverified document. EEOC regulations, likewise, do not require a verified charge (29 C.F.R. § 1626.6, .8). Thus the answer is not necessarily the same under Title VII and the ADEA.
