ON THE ROAD

My office delivered and presented a flag to Marine Corps veteran Willard Justice, who is the caretaker of the West Williamson Cemetery. Mr. Justice has led the efforts to take care of the cemetery for several years and his service is greatly appreciated.

Angel had contacted U.S. Senator Joe Manchin’s Office requesting assistance with the Social Security Administration. Angel's son was receiving disability benefits but those would stop when he turned 16 and a review was requested by the SSA. Angel had asked Senator Manchin to assist with receiving updates throughout the review process. Senator Manchin submitted an inquiry directly to the Social Security Administration and after working on the case the review concluded that Angel’s son is entitled to full disability benefits. Thanks to Senator Manchin's efforts, Angel’s and her son's benefits were fully reinstated.

If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with a state or federal agency, please contact my office at 304-342-5855. My staff and I are always ready to help fellow West Virginians!

MANCHIN ANNOUNCES NEARLY $124 MILLION FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FOR 440 WEST VIRGINIA HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
Charleston, WV – U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) today announced $123,905,029 to support 440 West Virginia rural healthcare providers. This funding is from the American Rescue Plan, which included $8.5 billion specifically for rural providers through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). 
 
“Rural providers across West Virginia have worked tirelessly to provide quality, affordable healthcare to our fellow West Virginians during these difficult times while operating on a shoestring budget. Through the American Rescue Plan, hundreds of vital West Virginia healthcare providers will receive nearly $124 million in financial relief,” said Senator Manchin. “I fought hard to include $8.5 billion for rural healthcare providers to ensure they can continue to provide critical care in their communities. Previously, only 6 percent of the Provider Relief Fund was specifically allocated for rural providers, despite serving 20 percent of the population. As these funds are allocated, I will continue working diligently to ensure rural health providers get their fair share of these vital funds.”
