Helping connect Minnesotans to resources that help them save money and live their best life
Building great communities takes time – but small, tangible improvements can spark lasting change. That’s the idea behind the AARP Community Challenge, a grant program launched in 2017 to support quick-action projects that enhance livability nationwide.
Starting January 1, 2026, Minnesota workers will have access to Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML)—a new state benefit that provides financial support and job protection when you need time away from work to care for yourself or a loved one.
Minnesotans who have been defrauded now have a better chance of financial recovery, thanks to a new bipartisan law championed by AARP Minnesota.

This innovative fund will help victims of fraud recover lost money—especially in cases where scammers are untraceable or bankrupt.

Hello again this is Lynne, and just to remind you, I recently began a new job developing SNAP outreach efforts to help Minnesota nonprofits combat hunger among older adults. One of the best parts of my work is the opportunity to explore new events and settings for connecting seniors to the resources they need. I am learning that the best conversations about Minnesotans’ daily struggles and the programs that can help often take place where I least expect them.
An important change is coming and it will have a major impact on Minnesota consumers. Beginning on October 1 st, the new Minnesota health care marketplace will open its doors.
