Henry Cuellar: I Have been Selected to Bipartisan WH Task Force

"If you have any ideas as to how we should be approaching this situation, I welcome your feedback. Although we are living in difficult times, we will get through this together."

Congressional Report
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – I was appointed to the Bipartisan White House Task Force. Through this group, we will advise and address the question of when our country should reopen the economy. A three-phase plan has been announced, which will act as guidelines aimed at softening restrictions. However, we must not rush these phases. It is critical that before we take care of the health of the economy, we first take care of the health of our individuals.

If you have any ideas as to how we should be approaching this situation, I welcome your feedback. Although we are living in difficult times, we will get through this together.  
In the district, I visited a local food bank, as well as held a telelistening session with the Small Business Administration and local faith-based organizations. We discussed ways we can help faith=based organizations and churches during these difficult times. These services, along with many others, are constantly being updated and I urge you to visit my website and social media pages, @repcuellar, to stay informed. 

I would also like to reiterate that my staff continues to work with constituents in the district, as well as those stranded overseas.  

IRS Update: Veterans will Receive Stimulus Check
The IRS recently announced that veterans and their family members, who did not file tax returns for 2018 or 2019, will automatically receive economic impact payments without having to take any further actions. There are many veterans who rely solely on government benefits; our nation's heroes should not face any hurdles when receiving federal support during this crisis.
