Senator Jon Ossoff grills Postmaster General Louis DeJoy during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on April 16, 2024.

ATLANTA – Sen. Jon Ossoff is once again pressing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on mail delivery performance in metro Atlanta.

The Georgia senator sent a letter to DeJoy on Thursday requesting an update on the regional processing and distribution center in Atlanta.

“It has been nearly a month since we spoke at the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on April 16 regarding service outages at the Atlanta Regional Processing and Distribution Center in Palmetto” , wrote Senator Ossoff. “As we have discussed over the past few weeks, there is an urgent need for USPS delivery performance in Georgia to improve immediately.”

FOX 5 has been reporting delays in the mail service for months. At a hearing last month, DeJoy told a Senate committee that the on-time delivery rate for incoming mail was 36 percent. He added that it would take about 60 days to return to full service.

Ossoff is asking DeJoy to provide a report on the status of facilities and services in the area within a week.
