Help with a Federal Agency

Residents of the 8th Congressional District of Virginia may contact my office for assistance in dealing with federal agencies. While we cannot guarantee a favorable outcome, we will do our best to help you receive a fair, timely response to your problem, or obtain the information you need. You may generate a privacy release from the form below that can be printed, signed and mailed or faxed to my office. If the matter is time sensitive, please contact my district office directly at 703-971-4700.

Please include all pertinent information and claim numbers in your correspondence—such as:

• Your Social Security number for a case involving Social Security;
• VA claim number for a case with Department of Veterans Affairs;
• Taxpayer identification number (Social Security number, if individual) for an Internal Revenue Service problem, etc.;
• Your address, home phone number and daytime phone number (if different than home) so that we can obtain any additional information from you that might be necessary;
• Copies of any related documents or correspondence that you may have from the agency involved;

Please Note:

The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a) requires that Members of Congress or their staff have written authorization before they can obtain information about an individual's case.
We must have your signature to proceed with this type of request.
