As a Member of Congress, it is my privilege to serve my constituents and to work with Federal Agencies on their behalf. My district offices in Staten Island and Brooklyn will be able to assist you with issues relating to the federal government. However, before contacting my office, please consider the following questions:  

1) Are you a resident of the 13th District of New York? Congressional courtesy and the rules of the House of Representatives state that I may only serve constituents living in the district I represent. If you are not sure that I am your representative, or if you would like to find out who your Member of Congress is, please visit the Find Your Representative page by clicking here.

2) Does your case involve a federal agency?
As a Member of Congress and your representative in Congress, I am able to inquire of federal agencies on your behalf. If your case involves the New York State or New York City governments, please contact your representative in the State Assembly, State Senate, or the City Council for assistance.

A few of the agencies that we work with include:
  • The Social Security Administration
  • Veterans Affairs
  • The Internal Revenue Service
  • Federal Employees/Retirees
  • Passport/Visa Affairs
  • United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

3) Have you used our online constituent services section?
Our online constituent services section has the answers to frequently asked questions about Social Security, Medicare, Immigration and Visas, Passport Assistance, and other topics.

4) Have you completed a Casework Authorization Form?
Prior to contacting federal agencies, my office must receive a Casework Authorization Form in order to make inquiries on your behalf. If you are submitting an immigration-related inquiry, you must complete the Department of Homeland Security Inquiry Form.
