Constituent casework is one of the most important Cutting the Red Tape services provided by your 4th Congressional District Office. If you are experiencing difficulties with a federal agency, please give us a call. We'll help you cut through the red tape. Here's a recent casework success story:

A distraught Civil Service retiree from Decatur came to our office in January with a notice from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) indicating that he owed the federal government $30,000 in overpayments. It was alleged that the overpayments had been made to him in his monthly retirement check.

The Congresswoman wrote a letter to the director of the OPM on behalf of the constituent requesting an explanation of the alleged overpayment. The review revealed a computer error and the debt was immediately absolved. Due to the Congresswoman's efforts, this grateful retiree will not face any further collection action
