As your representative in Congress, I have the responsibility to help make government agencies better serve you and your neighbors. Whether aiding residents of Ohio’s Third Congressional District in addressing a personal case with a federal agency, or providing assistance in obtaining a federal grant, my office can help you find the answers you’re looking for. Caseworkers in my office are here to advocate on your behalf, to find answers and provide solutions to your federal agency questions.
My office can help you to apply for Social Security benefits for retirement, survivors, and those who are disabled; learn how to comply with requirements, especially those placed on businesses; obtain your earnings statement, and more. Information on these topics, as well as forms and publications explaining benefits to you, is available on the Social Security Administration website, www.ssa.gov; through its toll-free phone number at 1-800-772-1213
Our veterans deserve our gratitude and respect. That includes ensuring the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is responsive to the needs of all veterans, especially those who are disabled or who need special care as a result of injuries sustained in the line of duty. Much information on VA forms and benefits can be found at www.va.gov or by calling 1-800-827-1000, or by contacting one of the caseworkers in my office.
Constituents seeking advisories regarding travel overseas, passport and visa requirements, foreign and international embassy and consulate contact information, and student travel recommendations can find it via the Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov. In addition, my office can help expedite passport processing if you are in need of a new or renewed passport faster than the standard processing time.
If you are having trouble obtaining information or a response from the International Revenue Service (IRS), we can contact the agency on your behalf regarding tax refunds, individual tax information, business tax information, changes in laws, and more.
