Help With A Federal Agency

Welcome and thanks for seeking my assistance. One of the most important parts of my job is to make government work for all New Yorkers.

My staff is knowledgeable and they work hard to make government responsive for those who seek our assistance.

Step 1

If you're unsure whether Senator Schumer can be of assistance with your problem, check our Frequently Asked Questions page, or contact our NYC office.

Step 2

Print and fill out the Privacy Release Form (found here). This will authorize us to inquire about your situation. The privacy waiver should be filled out by the person who has the problem with a federal government agency. If you are writing on behalf of another person, that person should fill out and sign the form.

Step 3

Write a letter addressed to Senator Schumer with a clear precise explanation of the problem. Be sure to give us the pertinent identification numbers such as account numbers, case numbers, social security number, anything that the federal agency would ask for to identify your case.

Step 4

Attach copies of relevant correspondence that may further help to explain the situation

Step 5

Make sure that both the letter and the privacy release waiver are signed.
