ST. LOUIS – Missouri U.S. Rep. Cori Bush sent a letter to the U.S. Postmaster General on Tuesday, seeking answers to apparent mail delays and disruptions in the St. Louis area.

Bush tells Postmaster General Louis DeJoy that there have been “significant and widespread delays to mail delivery” in Missouri 1st Congressional District, which covers the City of St. Louis and parts of north St. Louis County.

Some residents have informed Bush that they’re receiving essential documents like utility bills and social security checks in the mail weeks after key due dates.

“According to the United States Postal Service (USPS) service delivery dashboard, First Class Mail in St. Louis was delivered on-time only half of the time in the first week of February this year,” said Bush in the letter. “We have entire neighborhoods reporting they haven’t received mail for a full week at a time. These delays have a devastating impact on our seniors and folks with disabilities who rely on the timely delivery of these documents.”
