Rep. Craig's Office Puts More Than $10 Million Back into Minnesotans’ Pockets Through Constituent Services

EAGAN, MN – Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig announced that her office has officially returned more than $10 million to constituents in Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. Through her office’s constituent services operation, Rep. Craig’s team has put $10,014,233 wrongfully withheld by the federal government back into the pockets of Minnesotans.  

Since Rep. Craig came to Congress in 2019, her office has completed 6,937 constituent cases. Her constituent services team has successfully completed 1,811 cases this Congress alone.

“My number one priority in Congress is serving my constituents back in Minnesota’s Second Congressional District,” said Rep. Craig. “That means helping folks recoup their hard-earned money and ensuring that they get the benefits they are entitled to. I am so proud of the work my team has done to make Minnesotans whole, and we’ll keep working to put every penny we can back into the pockets of folks in CD2.”

Last month, the Congressional Management Foundation awarded Rep. Craig’s office a “Certificate of Excellence in Constituent Service” for its exceptional work serving Minnesotans navigating issues with federal agencies. Earlier this year – during the height of Operation Metro Surge – Rep. Craig’s constituent services team secured the release of 12 constituents wrongfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Rep. Craig's office has resolved cases involving the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of State, the Department of Education, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other federal agencies.
