respective Member of Congress by requesting access to and consenting to

The Creating Advanced Streamlined Electronic Services for
Constituents Act of 2019 (CASES Act) was enacted to modernize and
simplify the process by which individuals can request access to and
consent to the disclosure of their personal records held by Federal
agencies. This Act addresses the inefficiencies and inconsistencies
that previously existed in obtaining written consent for information
disclosure. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, individuals have the right
to access their records and control the disclosure of their personal
information. However, the traditional process of obtaining written
consent was often cumbersome, requiring physical signatures and manual
transmission of forms. This not only delayed the resolution of
constituent inquiries but also created variability in how different
Components within DoD handled these requests. The CASES Act mandates
the use of electronic access and consent forms, which can be submitted
digitally. By allowing digital submissions, the Act aims to streamline
the process, reduce delays, and enhance the efficiency of government
services.
