How do I obtain the status of my request?

HHS strives to handle all FOIA requests in a customer-friendly fashion, in accordance with the FOIA.  HHS provides a telephone number and web site that you can use to obtain information about the status of your pending FOIA request. Further, if you wish to raise a concern about the service provided to you by an agency’s FOIA office, you may contact the agency official known as a “FOIA Public Liaison.”
