WASHINGTON—10/29/24 – Today, in response to resident and industry complaints regarding late or lost mail, U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) demanded USPS Inspector General Tammy Hull and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit and investigate the Regional Processing and Distribution Center (RPDC) in Jacksonville, FL.

Congressman Bean was joined by Buddy Carter (GA-01), Mike Waltz (FL-06), John Rutherford (FL-05), and Kat Cammack (FL-03) in requesting specific answers and solutions to the months-long delays and mail delivery inconsistences families, seniors, and businesses continue to face in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

Upon issuance of the letter, Congressman Bean said, “Since January, I’ve had many constituents reach out with concerns regarding delivery delays and lost mail. We all rely on the USPS for timely delivery of mail and packages, and I understand it’s not just a service, it’s a critical resource. That’s why I’m pushing the USPS Inspector General for answers and solutions, not excuses.”

In the letter, the lawmakers wrote: “As members of Congress, it is our responsibility to conduct oversight and ensure the USPS is serving the people effectively. Therefore, we request the USPS Office of Inspector General to thoroughly audit and investigate the postal situation in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Specifically, we request to know the reason for the delays, how the transition to the Jacksonville RPDC has been implemented, and actions that can be taken to restore confidence in the postal services in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.”
