I won in the Equal Employment Opportunity Comission and had to file a fedral civil lawsuit against Social Security who I work for. My attorney says I can only get what I won in the EEOC, but I thought when you filed in federal court, even if you are a current federal employee, you can get more monetary compensation than what is allowed in the EEOC because it is a civil trail and longer under control of the EEOC, I am right and what is the law or statue? Help!
