How to Make a FOIA RequestThe following applies to any and all FOIA requests submitted. Any individual may submit a FOIA request to CMS by mail, fax or in person. Making a written FOIA request by mail is easy. You need no form. We have, however, provided one as a courtesy and as a guide. Mark both the envelope and its contents: "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST." The request must be in writing with an AFFIXED SIGNATURE. We do not accept requests via telephone. Please, do not include a self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) envelope nor a check or any type of payment with your initial request, If processing fees apply, an invoice will be issued to you. You may also address your request to:
Within your request, identify the record(s) that you want. If you do not know the exact title of the record(s), you should provide a reasonable description of the record. The more details that you can provide about the record, such as its author, date, subject matter and location, if you know them, the better. Not having a good description could delay our response or prevent us from finding the records you want. We may ask you to clarify your request if we need more information to find the record(s).
