How May We Help You?

I truly appreciate the opportunity to hear from my fellow West Virginians. As your U.S. Senator, I am proud to be your voice with government agencies during your time of need. My goal is to provide top-notch customer service for every West Virginian who contacts me, or who may need help.  I have a team of caseworkers in each of my four offices to help you with matters of concern. While I have no direct jurisdiction in the administrative matters of any federal, state, or local agency, I welcome the opportunity to assist you with whatever problem you may be experiencing and ask that full consideration is given to your case. 

Former Delegate Tony Barrill contacted Senator Manchin’s Office on behalf of WWII and Korean War Veteran Mr. Willis Perrine.  Mr. Perrine’s family was notified that as of February 1st, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs would no longer be providing financial support for his nursing home care at Meadow View Manor.  The Senator’s Office contacted Mr. Perrine’s daughter, Magistrate Saundra Holepit (Monongalia County) and learned that Mr. Perrine was 100% service connected Veteran.  The Senator’s inquiry was submitted as a hardship expedite.  On January 31, the VA notified the Senator’s Office that the contract for Mr. Perrine has been renewed at the Meadow View Manor.
