As the year comes to a close, U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI-07) announced that her team returned $11,833,472 to constituents in 2023, thanks to the hard work of her constituent services staff.
The returns mark the highest amount Slotkin’s constituent services team has secured in a calendar year since she took office, bringing the total amount returned to constituents to $18,191,675 since 2019.
One reason for the record-setting year is due cases that qualified for the Internal Revenue Service’s Employee Retention Credit, which is available for certain businesses and tax-exempt organizations affected during the pandemic.
“My constituent services team has years of experience navigating the federal government, and they have a passion for helping Michiganders get the most out of their government,” Slotkin said in a release. “They know how to navigate bureaucracy better than anyone, and they care deeply about helping people in an otherwise automated world. So if you’ve been struggling with a federal agency, please know we have an entire staff in Lansing ready and waiting to help. Let us bang pots and pans for you – we’re ready to work.”
Michigan’s 7th district residents who need help getting information or refunds from a federal agency can contact the office through Rep. Slotkin’s website or over the phone by calling (517) 993-0510.
The best way to start the process is by completing a privacy release form on the website.
Completing this form allows Congresswoman Slotkin’s office and federal agencies to exchange details of a constituent’s case while complying with federal privacy laws.
Slotkin’s office can also assist with requesting D.C. tours and tickets, receiving a milestone birthday or anniversary greeting, or requesting that a flag be flown over the U.S. Capitol. Visit https://slotkin.house.gov/ for more information.
