“Among my duties as a member of Congress, casework is paramount. I made it a top priority upon being elected to have a strong constituent services operation in the district office, and to ensure that constituents know to come to us for help. Serving the people of our 7th District is the bread and butter of what we do, and so far my office has helped over 250 people sort out issues ranging from Social Security Disability to U.S. Postal Service delivery,” said Rep. Jayapal. “I’m proud to release our July 2017 Casework Report, which offers an overview of our progress thus far. I encourage any constituents in need of help with a federal agency to contact my office.”

The office has also assisted dozens of constituents with navigating immigration issues, including visas, citizenship and employment. According to the report, Jayapal’s Seattle office has already resolved 129 cases.
