The best agency for Jeremy to call would be the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as they handle discrimination complaints related to disabilities in the workplace. Jeremy's termination could be considered discriminatory based on his disability and the agency can provide assistance in filing a complaint and potentially seeking a resolution or compensation. The Securities and Exchange Commission deals with securities and trading regulations, United States Congress handles legislation and policy making, and the Department of Health and Human Services handles health-related issues and services.
