What Can We Help You With?

If you are a resident of Rhode Island and you need help with a federal agency, we will be happy to work with you. If you are not from Rhode Island, please contact your home state senators for assistance.

Federal agencies include departments within the President’s cabinet, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, and independent agencies, like the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service. Visit USA.gov for a list of offices within the federal Executive Branch.

While we can’t ask an agency to circumvent its rules, force it to decide a question in your favor, or change a decision that is already final, we can make inquiries about the status of your situation and review steps taken thus far to make certain your case is being handled properly.
