I take great pride in helping Nevadans who have questions or concerns involving various federal agencies. Having a problem with the federal government can be very frustrating. However, I have qualified caseworkers in my state offices to assist you in these situations and provide guidance and answers.

Constituents frequently ask questions regarding Social Security benefits, military issues, Veterans' Administration concerns, immigration problems, and difficulties with the Internal Revenue Service. Although some inquiries can be handled over the phone, others require written correspondence to the agency.

If you would like my office to contact an agency on your behalf, please complete my privacy release form and return it via mail or fax it to one of my state offices. When filling out the privacy release form, it is vital that you clearly describe your problem and include all pertinent information regarding your situation (previous contacts with the agency, case numbers, paperwork filed to date, etc.).

Detailed information is available in the following areas:

• Social Security, Retirement, Disability, Survivors' & SSI
  
• Immigration, Naturalization, Work Permits
  
• Passports, Visas, American Embassies
  
• Veterans' Affairs

Other federal problems:

Any other federal problems should be addressed by forwarding the my privacy release form to one of my nearest state offices.
