Financial disclosure statements for Members of the House of Representatives are available on the Internet on or about June 15 of the year they are filed.

Congressman Dingell filed his 2009 financial disclosure statement on May 14, 2010. It is now availible online through the Clerk’s Financial Disclosure Reports Database.

Travel Expense Reimbursements:
Every Member of the House of Representatives is required to file reports that detail travel-related expenses reimbursed by non­government sources, as well as charitable contributions made in lieu of honoraria (a payment for services that do not have a set fee). All of these reports are available through the Gift and Travel Filings page maintained by the Clerk of the House.

Office Expenses:
The Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives publishes the “Statement of Disbursements" every three months. It provides an official report of the receipts and expenditures of every office of the House of Representatives. The full text of the document is available online.
