Constituent Services
Services available to residents of Illinois
Please make use of this page to research various government programs. We will also continue to fill this section with information on programs and services available to Illinois residents through my office.
Getting StartedConstituents are encouraged to contact my Senate office for assistance in any matter concerning the federal government. Before a Constituent Services Agent can begin an inquiry on any specific issue, constituents must submit a signed Privacy Act Release Form. This enables my office to access your personal information to determine how best we can be of assistance. Please mail or fax completed forms to the Chicago district office (see contact information of left side of this page). |
