What does YOUR rep/senator write re: constituent services?
Senator Richard Burr: (R-NC)

Beginning October 1st, the federal government will shut down and all non-essential operations will cease until Congress and the White House reach an agreement to restore funding.
As a result, my offices in Winston-Salem, Asheville, Gastonia, Rocky Mount, and Wilmington will be closed and constituent service operations will be temporarily suspended for the duration of the shutdown. Unfortunately this means that my office will not be able to assist with situations involving Social Security benefits, Medicare and Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, immigration matters, passports, the Internal Revenue Service, securing military medals for veterans, or matters pertaining to any other federal government agency. All current enrollees in Social Security and Medicare should see no interruption in their benefits.
Additionally, my office in Washington, D.C. will be operating at very limited capacity to support the core legislative functions needed to end the shutdown and restore government operations.
My colleagues and I are working to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
