Help with a Federal Agency

As a Member of Congress, one of my most important responsibilities is to help constituents interact with the Federal government’s many agencies and offices. To request assistance with your case, please follow the steps below.

Step #1: Complete and sign one of the appropriate privacy release forms.

The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a) requires that Members of Congress or their staff have written authorization before they can obtain information about an individual's case.Therefore, we must have a completed and signed privacy release in order to begin work on your case.

  1. Privacy Release - IRS 
  2. Privacy Release - Department of State 
  3. Privacy Release - Passport
  4. Privacy Release - All Other Federal Agencies

Step #2: Upload your completed privacy release form and any additional documentation by completing the form here:
