Help with Federal Agencies
The most common problems my constituents face relate to federal programs, such as Social Security, Medicare, federal pensions, veterans benefits, student financial aid, small business loans, and immigration/visa assistance. My district office staff is trained and available to help you with these or other community or individual concerns.

My offices are always happy to help you with your problems with the Federal Government -- so please do not hesitate to contact my office. However, you may be able to find the answers you are looking for on the following sites:

U.S. Service Academy Nominations
High school students in the 17th District may request a nomination to a service academy from Congressman Engel. Click here to learn more about the nomination process.

It is important to note that because I hold a federal office, I do not have direct jurisdiction over non-federal agencies. If you need assistance from your state and local government, please contact your appropriate state, county, or local official.
