Casework, noun (\ˈkā-ˌswərk\): refers to intermediary work performed by members of Congress for constituents who may have problems, or "cases", with the federal government.

Now that you know what we mean by 'casework,' ask yourself a series of questions to determine whether or not we can help you. Want to skip it all and contact us anyway? Here's our 'open-a-case' form, and here's our 'talk-to-us' page. But otherwise, read below for answers to frequently-asked questions and links to commonly requested resources.

ASK YOURSELF:

1. Do I live in the Fifteenth Congressional District in New York?
Not Sure? Zip Codes 10023, 10024, 10025, 10026, 10027, 10029, 10030, 10031, 10031, 10033, 10034, 10035, 10037, 10039, 10040, 10115, 10116, 10169, 10463, or 11105, and it's a 'yes.'

We would love to help all and whomever needs it, but the rules of Congressional courtesy require that we allow an inquiry or request from a non-constituent to be handled by his or her representative in Congress. That means that if I have the privilege of representing you in Congress, I can handle your request. If not, your representative should be more than pleased to assist you.

Not a constituent, still have a problem, and unsure who represents you? Make sure you have your full zip code here, and enter it here to find out.

2. Does your case involve a federal agency?
We are your federal representative and would be pleased to help you with a federal problem. Does it, instead, involve a state, county, or local government issue? Let us know, and we might be able to point you in the right direction (typically the state, county, or local government representative for your area).
