| Federal Casework |
|
One of the most important jobs a representative has is helping constituents when they are having problems with federal agencies. If you need help with a problem you are having with a federal agency, please contact one of the district offices to initiate a casework request. Rep. Slaughter is pleased to assist you with a number of issues including:
Below, please find a few quick questions to help you decide if I can assist you in your case: Does your case involve a federal agency? As a Federal representative, Rep. Slaughter is able to make inquiries of Federal agencies. If your case involves a state or local agency, please contact your state or local government representative for assistance. You may find your state representative here . Does the case you are concerned about involve you? Due to privacy laws, Rep. Slaughter must have the written consent of a constituent in order to make an official inquiry on his or her behalf. Is this a legal dispute? As a member of the Legislative Branch, Rep. Slaughter is unable to become involved in court cases or legal issues due to the Separation of Powers as outlined in the Constitution. Does your situation involve a law that you would like to see changed? If you are advocating for a change in the law, please contact any of the district offices and leave your comment. It is not necessary for you to fill out a release of information form in order to request a change in the law. Is an agency already working on your case? It is rare that a case can be"sped up" for any reason other than extreme hardship. If you believe your situation merits faster processing, please contact one of the district office's prior to filling out a release of information. The staff will discuss your situation with you and help determine the proper strategy.
Once you have asked yourself these questions and determined that your
case is something Rep. Slaughter can assist you with, please download and
print a release
of information form. The form may then be mailed to one of our
district
offices. The staff will then contact you confirm receipt of the
release and to gather any further information that may be needed. The
inquiry will begin shortly after you are contacted. If you are still unsure whether our office can assist you with your case, please contact one of the district offices. The staff will discuss your situation with you and work with you to determine the best course of action. |
