AARP AARP States New Hampshire Advocacy

Keep the Social Security Promise





take-a-stand
AARP New Hampshire is asking current members of Congress, as well as presidential and congressional candidates, to lay out their plans to update Social Security and keep it strong for current and future generations.

“Social Security is the bedrock of financial security for most older Granite Staters,” said Todd Fahey, AARP state director. “It provides at least half of household income for 64 percent of New Hampshire residents age 65 and older. And without Social Security, about 45 percent of the state’s older residents would be living in poverty.”

If Congress doesn’t act, beneficiaries could see a 25 percent drop in benefits by 2034. AARP New Hampshire is encouraging members to sign a letter urging their elected officials to take action. To participate, go to action.aarp.org/takeastandnh.
