Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) announced that his casework team has returned over $10,012,316 to constituents since the office opened in January 2023. The office has closed over 2,730 constituent cases within the 7th Congressional District.

From the beginning of Congressman Kean’s term, his team has helped constituents save money and obtain benefits from federal agencies such as the VA, IRS, and Social Security Administration. The primary groups served include seniors, veterans, and families.

“$10,000,000 back to constituents is an incredible milestone that demonstrates the positive impact of the work we do to help our fellow New Jerseyans,” said Congressman Kean. “I am committed to serving my district to ensure every constituent receives the benefits and assistance to which they are entitled."

Several constituents have shared their experiences with Team Kean:

“The staff was very helpful through the process and they were reassuring. I appreciate the great assistance!!” said Payal from Flemington.

“Thank you to Congressman Kean's office for your help with expediting my EAD! It was expedited so quickly and truly appreciate your help. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the customer service on the phone. It was great there were no automated phone systems and I was able to reach a rep right away and they were very courteous. Overall a very positive experience,” said Aparajitha from Somerville.

“Congressman Keans staff was highly responsive and helpful in resolving my issue. They reached out numerous times and even when the problem was resolved they followed up to ensure all was well. Thank you for all of your help,” said Antonio from Ledgewood.

“I emailed the office late in the evening after business hours and they responded around 9am the next morning. By 4:00pm that day, the social security worker called me and gave me her direct extension, apologized, and said she would process the application immediately. Congressman Kean's office went above and beyond my expectations and I am truly grateful. It gives me great faith that he will do what he says he will do,” said Amber from Washington.

Team Kean encourages anyone needing assistance with a federal agency to contact their office or visit https://kean.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency or call (908) 547-3307 for more information.
