Employee Advocacy Matter Submission Form

It is the Office of Employee Advocacy's pleasure to assist employees of the House of Representatives with their workplace rights. To assess how we may counsel, assist, or provide legal representation to an employee, we need additional information about the employee's situation. To obtain this information, Employee Advocacy's first step is to complete an Intake Interview to learn the facts of the situation before the matter is assigned to an Employee Advocacy attorney. 

There are multiple avenues to engage the services of Employee Advocacy. In addition to using Employee Advocacy's phone and email hotlines, House employees can complete a Matter Submission Form. Upon completion, the employee should submit the form to Employee Advocacy via email, mail, or hand-delivery to H2-377 Ford HOB.^* 

The Matter Submission Form is a fillable pdf that asks for contact information, employment information, and a narrative explaining the situation, the employee's concerns, and their desired resolution. Once Employee Advocacy receives a completed Matter Submission Form, an Employee Advocacy staff member will follow up with the employee via phone or email to discuss the next steps of working with Employee Advocacy. This may include scheduling an Intake Interview to obtain additional information or informing the employee of their matter's assignment to an Employee Advocacy attorney.

For additional information about our Intake process, employees can contact Employee Advocacy via the office’s confidential telephone hotline (202-225-8800) or confidential email (Employee.Advocacy@mail.house.gov).

^{*Completion of the Matter Submission Form is not required to schedule an Intake appointment with Employee Advocacy. Nor does completion of the Matter Submission Form automatically bypass the Intake Interview.}
