Help with a Federal Agency

Help with a Federal Agency

After 18 years of serving Michigan in Congress, Senator Peters’ office will close at the end of the year. To ensure constituents receive the continuity of service they deserve, we are unable to accept any new casework after November 1st. We encourage you to reach out to another member of the Michigan Congressional Delegation so that they may open a case on your behalf.

Please email Senator Peters’ constituent services team at Casework@peters.senate.gov for assistance during this transition.

It has been an honor to serve the people of Michigan.


State and Local Resources

Here are some common non-federal issues, and information on where to go for help:

Family Independence Agency (includes Child Protective Services, Medicaid and financial assistance): Contact your State Representative, State Senator, or FIA directly.

Friend of the Court (child support, visitation, and custody): Unless it is an interstate child support case, please contact your State legislators or the State Court Administrator's Office, Friend of the Court Bureau at (517) 373-4835.

Legal issues involving either the state or federal judiciary: In these cases, you may wish to contact an attorney. The State Bar of Michigan operates an attorney referral service, which you can access by calling (800) 968-0738. Some services may be available free or at reduced costs for low-income persons.

Unemployment: The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) administers the unemployment insurance program that provides temporary financial assistance to individuals who become unemployed through no fault of their own. Contact your State Representative, State Senator, or UIA directly.
