Constituent Success Story: Gerald from Aurora

My office is here to help the hard working people of the 7th Congressional District cut through some of the red tape when dealing with a government agency. If you are having an issue with a federal agency, please call my office. My staff and I will always do our best to help. We were able to help Gerald receive retroactive payment from the Railroad Retirement Board due to sick leave.

"So often we catch ourselves complaining about our elected officials and what we perceive as what they do not do. I personally just wanted to take a moment and say even I have got caught up in that as well. Your office has renewed my faith in some of our officials, with the help they provided me (small to some, monumental task to myself) in dealing with the Railroad Retirement Board on a claim for sickness due to a heart attack. Thanks to you, the claim has been taken care of and the red tape cut with your help. I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the help and a restored opinion that not all government offices are “ broken “ as we sometimes perceive it."

Thank You-

Gerald
