AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond issued the following statement related to comments about changes at the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The acting head of the Social Security Administration (SSA) on Feb. 19 sought to reassure older Americans that payments will continue as usual and that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff have limited access to its systems, amid growing concerns over service disruptions and the privacy of beneficiaries’ personal data.
Older Americans depend on services provided by the Social Security Administration, whether it be over the phone, online, or face-to-face at local field offices.
The names of the first 10 Medicare drugs whose prices the federal government will negotiate directly with manufacturers were released Aug. 29. Popular but pricey blood thinners, diabetes medications, cancer treatments make historic list.
AARP Arizona is providing information and resources about COVID-19 to help older Arizonans, and their families protect themselves from the virus and prevent it from spreading to others.

AARP AZ applauds Governor Doug Ducey’s decision to release $5.3 Million for Meals on Wheels. These resources will help make sure that seniors get nutritious meals delivered to their homes so they remain safe and healthy. We know how important it is to keep our socially distancing and it is critical that seniors take the Governors concerns about minimizing crowd sizes. These resources will also help the nonprofits who provide meals on wheels with the resources to meet the ongoing demand.
