Need Assistance with a
Federal Agency?
Constituent Casework
Senator Bennett and his staff are often able to assist Utahns in
their interactions with government officials and
agencies.
This
assistance can come in the form of a request for information or
a status report, requests for prompt consideration of your case,
or to help in arranging for interviews or appointments. While Senator
Bennett can't ask a government agency to do anything contrary to
existing
law or regulations, he can make sure that your rights are respected
and that errors in procedure are corrected.
How to Get Help
If you require assistance, please call or write to Senator Bennett
at one of his Utah offices. In accordance with the Privacy Act
of 1974, a letter from you authorizing him to act on your behalf
is required. Please complete and submit a privacy
release form including a concise explanation of your situation, as well as copies
of all relevant information.
Unfortunately, because of the separation of the legislative
and judicial branches of government, members of Congress cannot
intervene
in criminal and civil cases. Additionally, as a representative
of the federal government, Senator Bennett does not have the
authority to intervene in cases that involve Utah state agencies.
For those inquiries, please contact Governor
Huntsman’s office at
(801) 538-1000.
