Today, Congressman Pat Ryan announced that he has secured more than $15 million for Hudson Valley community projects, including $8.3 million for law enforcement and first responder agencies across Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties

With the C.A.R.E.S. Van, Ryan and his team deliver one-on-one assistance navigating federal programs and accessing benefits including Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare directly to constituents in their own community

Information session will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025 from 11:00AM to 2:00PM at Marist University’s Dyson Center in Poughkeepsie

Through assistance with federal agencies including Social Security and the IRS, Congressman Ryan and his team of highly skilled caseworkers have helped recover more than $40 million owed to Hudson Valley families by the federal government

Congressman Ryan’s “Protecting Social Security Act” honors the historic program’s legacy; bill will prevent cuts to Social Security and protect the Social Security trust fund from depletion, ensuring that seniors and families receive the benefits they earned

Ryan and community members discussed everything from USDA funding cuts, research cuts, the “Big Beautiful Bill” kicking independent farmers off their Medicaid, to how tariffs are threatening Hudson Valley small businesses

Following Medicaid and Medicare’s 60th anniversary and in light of recent sweeping cuts to essential senior programs – including Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP –  Ryan’s C.A.R.E.S. Van senior tour provides direct, specialized support to seniors in every corner of the Hudson Valley
