Congressman August Pfluger announces over 2,000 cases closed and $1.7 million returned to citizens of Texas-11

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman August Pfluger proudly announced that his dedicated district staff has achieved a monumental milestone in their service to the constituents of the 11th District of Texas. Through their tireless efforts, they have successfully closed 2,124 cases—resulting in the return of an impactful $1.7 million to the community. This is money that federal agencies like the IRS, Social Security Administration, and VA failed to deliver.

 "I am incredibly proud of the outstanding work my district staff has accomplished," said Congressman Pfluger. "Their dedication to the residents of the 11th District of Texas is evident in these remarkable numbers. Closing over 2,000 cases and securing the return of $1.7 million is a testament to their commitment to ensuring our community thrives. We have six district offices across Texas-11 open full-time working on issues like recovering lost social security checks, restoring rightful benefits and assistance for veterans, and cutting through bureaucratic red tape. Their hard work and diligence have a direct and positive impact on the lives of those we serve. It is an honor to work on your behalf advancing the policy priorities of our district and helping to secure relief."

Steve & Carly of San Angelo: “A letter came by mail stating that a refund was on its way, but our refund never came. We called and called the IRS, and no one would call us back, we had pretty much given up. We received numerous letters from the IRS and felt like we were just getting the run-around. This issue had been ongoing since 2018 and we never got results trying to get this done on our own. When we found out Congressman Pfluger had moved into the new office in San Angelo, we decided to contact his office for assistance and spoke with Karin Kuykendall. When the Congressman’s office began working on our case, we began receiving other letters of correspondence. After 5 years of waiting, we finally received a letter stating that our refund was on its way and the next day we received our refund. We are thankful for Dena Perez and Karin Kuykendall and their assistance, hard work, and dedication in this matter.”

The services provided by Congressman Pfluger's district staff include a wide range of assistance—from helping veterans navigate the complexities of the VA to resolving issues related to Social Security, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and more. As the representative for the 11th District of Texas, Congressman Pfluger remains resolute in his commitment to addressing the needs and concerns of his community.
