GovBenefits.gov

If you are in need of government assistance, but are unsure where to go for information on how to apply, Govbenefits.gov may be the answer. It reduces the amount of research needed to take advantage of government benefits programs by providing information only on those programs most likely to benefit each individual.

Constituents complete a confidential questionnaire and Govebenefits.gov matches their request with the appropriate benefit programs, and provides application information. It contains a wide variety of information on such topics as Medicaid/Medicare, small business loans, scholarships, and disaster relief, to name a few.

Report Helicopter Noise

As the author of H.R. 2677, the Los Angeles Helicopter Noise Relief Act, I am committed to working with Valley residents to help reduce helicopter noise in residential areas of LA. At my request, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has started a community outreach process to better examine the issue of helicopter noise in LA. However, I need your help to identify areas where helicopter noise is of particular concern. In order to better inform the FAA about helicopter noise hotspots, I�m asking for your assistance in detailing the exact time, date, and location where helicopter noise has impacted your neighborhood.

I invite you to fill out the form below to share with me any comments, complaints, updates, or details about your experiences with helicopter noise in LA. Comments submitted on this form will be forwarded to the FAA on your behalf. You can also send testimony directly to the FAA by emailing this address, 9-AWP-LA-NOISE@faa.gov
