Once you have determined that your problem is one with which I can be
of assistance, you should follow the steps listed below to gather
necessary information and material before you contact my office. This
will help my staff to assist you more efficiently.
STEP ONE: Complete a Personal Authorization Form
Because of the Right to Privacy Act, you will need to provide written
permission before my office can request the status of your case with a
federal agency. Please complete a Personal Authorization Form giving permission for my staff to look into the matter on your behalf.
STEP TWO: Gather necessary paperwork
- You must provide my staff with any background information
you have regarding your case. This might include letters from the
agency, medical forms, and other forms and documents relating to your
problem.
- The agencies listed below require
additional information. My staff will need this before they can make
inquiries on your behalf:
- Office of Personnel Management Cases: the OPM uses your CSA or CSF
number as well as your Social Security number and, for some cases your
Date of Birth is helpful. To report the death of an annuitant and to
apply for survivor benefits, you will need the death certificate.
- Immigration and Naturalization Cases: for these cases your A# is required to track your case.
- Workers' Comp Cases: your case number along with your Social Security Number will help us track your case.
