Help With A Federal Agency
Help With A Federal Agency
One of the most important things I do as a U.S. Representative is help people with federal problems. Although I cannot override the decisions made by a federal agency, I can often intervene on a person's behalf to answer questions, find solutions, or just cut through the red tape.
What is Casework?
Before you contact my office for assistance with a case, it is a good idea to determine if your problem is something my office has the authority and jurisdiction to help you with. The information and examples below can help you decide... I can help you if your problem is with a federal agency. A federal agency, as the term implies, is an organization that is part of the federal government. These agencies are either:
•part of the President's Cabinet or Executive Branch
•Independent Agencies and Government Corporations
Other Useful Information
If you are having trouble solving a problem you are having with a federal agency on your own, I may be able to assist you in working with the agency. While I can't ask the agency to do anything which they are unable to do under law or regulations, I can make sure that all of your rights are respected and that errors in procedure are corrected. Constituents sometimes request that the Congressman expedite their applications for government services or benefits.
While a caseworker is available to obtain information regarding the status of a constituent's application or claim, this office has no authority to move one person's application ahead of others that have been waiting longer. Caseworkers can assist constituents by providing information about the process for applying for a government benefit or service. A Congressional office, however, cannot file the claim and does not have the authority to instruct a federal agency to approve or deny an application.
What is Not Casework?
Because of the Constitutional separation of powers between the three branches of government, judicial matters (matters which involve courts) do not fall under my jurisdiction as a U.S. Representative. Examples of judicial matters are:
•child custody
•divorce
•criminal trials or imprisonment
Problems with North Carolina State Agencies are not under my jurisdiction as a U.S. Representative. Please contact your local State Senator or State Representative for assistance.
Prepare to open a case
Below you will find a list of agencies that I can help you with. However, before I can help you, I need a completed privacy authorization form to comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act. Please click here for a printable version of the privacy authorization form and then fax or mail it to the appropriate office listed on the form and fill out our online form. You may also want to include your email address on the form. You must provide my staff with any paperwork you have regarding your case. This might include letters from the agency, medical forms, or other forms and documents relating to your problem.
***Note that any cases involving the IRS require a separate release form, which can be downloaded here.***
