The first place to look for all sorts of federal government information is the official website of the Federal Government, called now USA.Gov. -  http://www.usa.gov/

A useful category of links on USA.Gov are links to find and print out  government form.  Imagine! Social Security, IRS, you name it - most agencies' forms.

USA.Gov also has a "Contact" section that can get you to the contact point for the various agencies. You can phone or email your request for who to contact.

In addition, the Federal Government has  a general phone number of 1-800-FED-INFO (800/333-4636) that can direct you to a real live person at most federal agencies.
