The following information explains what my office can do, provides answers to questions in each issue area (Veterans, Social Security, etc) that constituents have the most and explains the process my office follows to open a case on your behalf.
Constituents will sometimes ask that I expedite their applications for services or benefits. While my office is able to obtain information regarding the status of a constituent's application or claim, I can't order an agency to move one person's application ahead of others who also have been waiting. However, if an emergency situation develops, I will communicate the circumstances to the agency and request that the agency take the appropriate action.
Agencies and Issue Areas
- Veterans
Problems with veterans’ benefits, eligibility determinations, VA health care and replacements of medals earned.
- Social Security
Social Security benefits and eligibility, missing checks and disability claims.

Process: Who To Contact and What You Need
To open a case on your behalf, I need a signed letter or privacy release form from you, giving permission to look into your case. Due to the Privacy Act of 1974, no inquiries can be made without such written consent. As such, an e-mail will not suffice as a release. A written signature must be given.
Download the Adobe Version of the privacy release form or send a letter to any of my District Offices (see below) that includes the following information:
Full Name
Address
Daytime Telephone
Number
Evening Telephone Number
Date of Birth

Information for Constituents Coming to Washington, D.C.
Our office may make arrangements for constituents traveling in the
Washington, D.C. area for many different tours, including the Library of Congress, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Kennedy Center. Availability is limited for these tours, and they quickly fill up during heavy travel periods. Therefore, we
suggest that travelers contact our office as early as possible with their tour requests. If you are a constituent coming to Washington, you may want to look at this guide for visitors.
Requests should include: the tour(s) desired, specific dates for each tour, names of all members of your party, the date you will be leaving California, your postal address and your day-time telephone number. Tickets and other tour information will arrive approximately two weeks before your scheduled departure. You may also click here to place an online order for tours for your next visit to Washington.

Flags are available in a variety of types and sizes as outlined below, and may be flown on a specific date and/or in honor of a person, organization or group. The flag includes a certificate from the Architect of the House verifying that the flag was flown over the Capitol and is being presented to the recipient.
Because of new franking prices, the total cost of flying flags may depend on how many you order. If you intend on ordering more than two flags at once, please contact Congressman Miller's district office (925) 602-1880 for an accurate price.
The amount of time required to process a flag request is approximately four weeks.

Nomination Procedures for United States

All qualified candidates will be scheduled for an interview with Congressman Miller's Service Academies Advisory Board in December. The Board will interview candidates with a minimum SAT score of 550 verbal and 550 math or ACT score of 23 for English and 27 for math. Candidates must also maintain a 3.0 GPA or better. All candidates will be notified in advance of the time and place of their interview.
Upon completion of the interviews, the Service Academies Advisory Board will notify Congressman Miller of their recommendations for nomination, and notification will be sent to each applicant.
Competition for the Academy openings is very intense, and it is impossible for all those who wish to attend to do so. We, therefore, recommend that candidates consider alternate plans and also apply through the California Senators.
Final appointments are made solely by the Academies. The Congressman cannot guarantee appointments; he can only provide a nomination.
