Helping Iowans navigate the federal government is an important part of my job. When a constituent runs into a problem with a federal agency, it’s up to my team to get to the bottom of it and find a solution. Some recent wins below:
Social Security Benefits: Delivered!
After her foster parent passed away, a young Iowan was eligible to receive money through Social Security once she turned 18. When that time came, she reached out to the Social Security Administration and was left with no answers or information. My team contacted Social Security and got the agency to release the funds.
VA Medical Bill: Resolved!
An Iowa veteran received a bill for an urgent care visit for strep throat that should have been covered by the VA. He had completed the necessary paperwork at the clinic, but the bill had not been paid. My team contacted the Veterans Health Administration to review the issue, and shortly after gathering the information, the agency approved payment and covered the veteran’s urgent care bill.
IRS Overcharge: Corrected!
A nonprofit contacted my office after its tax bill more than doubled. My team worked with the Taxpayer Advocate Service to find out why the amount had changed. We discovered that the organization had been incorrectly overcharged, and the IRS soon corrected the error and eliminated the balance owed.
