Account Stated Open Account Statute Of Limitations in US-AS

Under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1), the limitations period for an account stated or open account claim arising under this federal provision is three years. This statute governs the time within which a charge must be filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, establishing the outer limit for initiating an action on the underlying debt. The official source at the United States Code House of Representatives website provides the full text of the rule, including any conditions or exceptions that may apply. The worked example below demonstrates the application of this three-year period to a typical factual scenario. To estimate the result for a particular set of dates, the DocketMath calculator should be used.

Governing authority

In US-AS, the statute of limitations rule is set by 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1). The verified packet cites 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2000e-5&num=0&edition=prelim).

Deadline example

For a US-AS account stated open account limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 3 years. The authority packet cites 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2000e-5&num=0&edition=prelim).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 3 years.
• The example deadline is 2027-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.
