The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) handles disclosures of wrongdoing within the executive branch of the federal government from current federal employees, former federal employees, and applicants for federal employment. (For purposes of this section, former and current employees, and applicants for federal employment are all “employees" or “whistleblowers"). Filers wishing to make a disclosure can use OSC's Online Filing Portal by clicking the green File a Complaint button in the top right-hand corner of this screen.
The Online Filing Portal includes a series of questions designed to elicit specific information regarding your disclosure. Please answer each question as completely as possible. The Online Filing Portal also includes a section where filers can indicate whether they consent to the disclosure of their identity for any purpose. Please also attach any evidence supporting your disclosure (for example, documents, newspaper articles, photographs, etc.) to your online form.
The Online Filing Portal CANNOT be used to submit classified information. If you believe classified information is required to support your disclosure, please discuss your options with the attorney assigned to your case.
OSC strongly encourages the use of the Online Filing Portal, as it improves both efficiency and accuracy. However, if you do not wish to file online, you can complete a PDF form and submit
