Rep. Gabe Vasquez (NM-02) sent a letter (attached) to Postmaster General David P. Steiner raising serious concerns about a recent U.S. Postal Service policy change that could unfairly penalize New Mexicans who rely on USPS to send time-sensitive mail such as tax returns, rent payments, and Social Security or Medicare documents. This new USPS policy will disproportionately harm rural communities, seniors, and folks with limited broadband access. “This change puts New Mexicans at risk of facing late fees, delayed refunds, or even interruptions to essential benefits, simply because of where they live,” Rep. Vasquez said. New Mexicans who need assistance navigating the federal bureaucracy—from Social Security and the VA to assistance with passports or tax refunds—can contact Vasquez’s office at https://vasquez.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency.
