Constituent Services

Staff members in my district offices will make every effort to assist you in obtaining timely and accurate information from federal agencies. Whether you need assistance, for example, in resolving problems, obtaining your Social Security, Medicare or veterans benefits, or you are seeking an update from the Internal Revenue Service or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, my staff is available to help you.

The first step is for you to send a signed copy of a Privacy Act release form and any supporting documentation by mail or fax to my district office at the address below. This release form gives my staff your permission to discuss your case with the appropriate federal agency. A letter explaining your problem or request is helpful for my staff to gain an understanding of your particular issue; supporting material offers a more complete picture of your situation and can be useful in providing relevant background information.

Once these documents are received by my staff, we will take the appropriate action on your behalf. A member of my staff will contact you if more information is needed or to let you know the steps that have been taken on your behalf. While we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining a favorable resolution of your case, we will assure you that we will do everything that we can to assist you in a timely and effective manner.
