                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DEBBIE DINGELL

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 2, 2017

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Maurice El-
Amin for his outstanding career with the Social Security 
Administration. Mr. El-Amin has served the SSA with distinction during 
his career with the agency.
  Mr. El-Amin has compiled an outstanding record of public service 
during his 33-year career with the SSA. He began his career with the 
agency as a Claims Representative in Dearborn, Michigan, where he 
helped residents access the Social Security benefits that they earned. 
Mr. El-Amin excelled in this position and has served in a variety of 
key positions in the Midwest, including as Operations Supervisor and 
District Manager in the SSA's Chicago office. Since 2012, Mr. El-Amin 
has worked as Area Director for Metro Detroit, where he oversees the 
operation of 22 offices in Southeast Michigan and in the greater Toledo 
area. During this time, he has overseen a modernization of many of the 
SSA's services, including promoting increased use of online filing and 
eServices to facilitate improved service for Metro Detroit and its 
residents.
  Mr. El-Amin's work has been key to ensuring that the SSA is able to 
meet the increased demands of the Midwest region. As Area Director, Mr. 
El-Amin oversaw the work of over 450 employees whose tireless efforts 
played a crucial role in the evolution of the SSA. He has also been 
actively involved in the agency's recruitment efforts and mentorship 
programs, which have been critical to attracting a new generation of 
talented public officials. Additionally, Mr. El-Amin has served as the 
Executive Liaison for the SSA Chicago Region's Black Advisory Affairs 
Council, which advises the Commissioner of Social Security on issues 
important to the SSA's African American employees. Mr. El-Amin's 
experience and perspective will be missed as he retires from the SSA 
after a long and distinguished career.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Maurice 
El-Amin for his work on behalf of the Social Security Administration. 
Mr. El-Amin's public service has played a significant role in helping 
the SSA effectively serve Americans throughout the country.
