(Washington, DC) — Congresswoman Ashley Hinson has joined her colleagues calling for the reopening of the National Personnel Records Center. A news release from the Iowa Republican’s office says she has signed a letter to that effect that was sent to the Biden administration. Hinson says the move would allow for full in-person staffing to make sure Iowa veterans and those across the country won’t have delays in receiving their benefits. The N-P-R-C is currently only allowed to operate at 25 percent of normal capacity. That leads to lengthy delays for veterans who need their records to get federal benefits and services.
