According to the Postal Service, your mailman can not only deliver your letters and packages, but can be a handy helper, too.

That’s the latest idea for the giant bureaucracy that’s bleeding money everyday.

A new report from the Inspector General proposes several ways for the financially struggling agency to help its budget situation. Among them: turn letter carriers into handy helpers.

The IG outlines a plan “to have the mailman stop in to help the elderly, by assessing their health and even setting up their new TV,” WSB reports.

The IG wrote, “The postal service could coordinate and collaborate with wellness organizations to offer new and far-reaching services to older Americans nationwide.”

The report also proposes the postal service could deliver groceries and medications to the elderly.

“Loved ones could pay a fee for letter carriers to check in on older Americans that may not have regular contact with others…letter carriers install appliances or fill out different types of forms,” according to the IG’s report.

“The presence of these letter carriers and post office locations in neighborhoods throughout the country could offer the space, community knowledge, and accessibility from which wellness programs could benefit.”

The Postal Service has had chronic budget problems for years. According to the news station, the agency has lost $586 million dollars in the past three months alone.

Some aren’t buying the idea that the agency could branch out into such areas.

“They aren’t even, right now, able to deliver the mail effectively without losing money and yet they now are on this new kick where they’re looking at new businesses,” Leslie Paige with Citizens against Government Waste says.

The IG estimates grocery delivery alone could net the agency between “$27 million and $134 million in profit for the Postal Service annually,” according to the IG report.

The report doesn’t say if new staff would have to be hired, or existing employees would work the additional duties into their current schedule.
