U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Skamania, has announced she will hold her 27th set of mobile office hours in Lewis County.
Residents of Washington’s Third Congressional District will be able to walk in to get assistance with federal agencies such as the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and State Department, a news release from Gluesenkamp Perez’s office stated.
The congresswoman’s team will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10, at the Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library, 400 N. Market Blvd., Chehalis.
Gluesenkamp Perez has held mobile office hours in every county in Washington’s Third District where she doesn’t have an office.
Gluesenkamp Perez stated in a news release that she has already recovered more than $10.1 million for 2,800 constituents owed to them by federal agencies — including more than $545,000 from the VA, $2.2 million from the Social Security Administration and $4.2 million from the IRS, according to the release.
“My bipartisan team is working each day to directly assist folks across Southwest Washington with federal agencies — whether it’s recovering Social Security checks, tax refunds or veterans benefits you’re owed,” Gluesenkamp Perez said. “Our services shouldn’t be any less accessible because of where you live — so I’ve made it my priority to bring mobile office hours to every county across Southwest Washington. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to stop by, and I’ll keep working to ensure we can reach more of our rural communities.”
