How can I help?
If you are a constituent of the 28th Congressional District of California, our office can assist you with matters involving Federal agencies. We also provide for visitors to Washington, DC, and can arrange to have a flag flown for you over the U.S. Capitol building.
GovBenefits.gov
If you are in need of government assistance, but are unsure where to go for information on how to apply, Govbenefits.gov may be the answer. It reduces the amount of research needed to take advantage of government benefits programs by providing information only on those programs most likely to benefit each individual.
Constituents complete a confidential questionnaire and Govebenefits.gov matches their request with the appropriate benefit programs, and provides application information. It contains a wide variety of information on such topics as Medicaid/Medicare, small business loans, scholarships, and disaster relief, to name a few.

Flag Requests
I am pleased to offer my constituents the opportunity to purchase a United States flag.
You may order as many flags as you wish. Flags are available in either nylon or cotton and come in sizes from 3'x5' to 5'x8'. All flags are sold at cost. It takes approximately 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. We cannot accept credit card payments, so all orders must be accompanied by a check for the proper amount made out to Rep. Berman's Office Supply Account.
If you would like, you may request that your flag be flown over the U.S. Capitol building. You may ask that it be flown on a specific date and/or to commemorate a birthday or other special occasion. A certificate will accompany your flag noting these facts. It might say, for example, "This flag was flown for John Smith in recognition of his retirement from teaching after 40 years of dedicated service."
If you order more than one flag per form, they will all be flown on the same date and shipped at the same time. If you prefer that they be flown on different dates, you must submit separate order forms for each date.
If you would like to learn more about our flag, the proper way to fly it, instructions for folding it, the words of the pledge of allegiance, or how to dispose of unserviceable flags, this link http://www.legion.org will take you to the American Legion web site, which has an informative section on the U.S. flag.
To proceed to the order form, please fill in the following information: the name, address and phone number of the person purchasing the flag.
