Ernst announces casework office hours

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst announced that her office will be holding traveling office hours in all 99 counties across Iowa during the month of June to provide casework assistance to constituents.

Ernst herself will not be at the traveling office hours.

Instead, representatives from Ernst’s office will be available to assist Iowans with problems or questions about issues involving Social Security, veterans’ benefits, military affairs, passports, immigration issues and other federal programs.

“No matter the issue, if you are experiencing challenges with federal services such as those at the Veterans Affairs or Social Security office, my staff and I are here to assist,” Ernst said. “My staff members in offices across Iowa can help with all sorts of problems that can arise when it comes to federal agencies. So, throughout the month of June, we are offering traveling office hours in every county in Iowa to make sure we are available and accessible to folks who need assistance.”

Those who are seeking assistance with federal agencies but who are unable to attend the traveling office hours can contact one of the senator’s offices directly or submit a casework request online at www.Ernst.Senate.Gov.
