McBride Returns $2.4 Million to Delawareans in Her First 160 Days in Office | 2025-06-12 | 2025 | 2025-06 | Democrat | House | DE | Sarah McBride | M001238 | mcbride.house.gov | mcbride | https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Image June 12, 2025 WASHINGTON, D.C. — This morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Congresswoman Sarah McBride (D-DE) announced that her office has helped release over $2.4 million of backlogged benefits to Delawareans in just her first 160 days in office. “160 days into my term in Congress, we’ve returned $2.4 million to Delawareans in backlogged tax returns, Social Security checks, veteran’s benefits, because at the end of the day my job is to deliver for Delawareans,” said Rep. McBride. From assisting with delayed Social Security payments and recovering long-overdue IRS refunds to expediting passports and resolving veterans’ claims, Rep. McBride’s office has already closed more than 340 constituent cases across the state. These efforts have made a real difference in people’s lives — helping families stay in their homes, enabling seniors to afford medications, and ensuring veterans get the care and support they’ve earned. Here’s what Delawareans are saying about Congresswoman McBride’s casework: “I couldn’t be more thankful. I imagined many times that this day would never come.” “Thank you so much! You have been a lifeline to us, and we will never forget all your help!” “My deepest thanks! It says a lot about our new Congresswoman and how quickly she has her office up and running with a great staff!!! Congratulations on a job extremely well done!!!” “You are an asset to public service, [redacted]. You have been very professional, helpful, efficient, and kind in a time when I was looking for any bit of help possible.” “Excellent interaction! Excellent staff! Highly recommend - spoke to all my colleagues to support Rep. Sarah McBride and how phenomenal her staff are caring, courteous, professionals and punctual. The best! “You are amazing! Please thank Congresswoman McBride for her advocacy. After years of miscommunications and frustration, you have helped me when nothing I ever did resulted in a resolution. I can’t thank you enough.” “I am so super excited to tell you that my money went in this morning! Thank you so much for your help. This is such good news for me and my family!!” “Thank you so much for your very expeditious response. You have given me excellent service and follow up. Good job!! Best wishes to you and Congresswoman McBride.” “Thank you for all your help and support. I was able to save my home and property. I will be forever grateful for your time and support.” McBride’s office continues to support constituents in navigating federal agencies including the Social Security Administration, IRS, VA, and State Department.
