If you’re looking for a way to give back, AARP Missouri has a volunteer opportunity for you – and at the same time you can help make your communities safer. How?
Think you're safe because you live on the rural route? Think again. Electric Co-ops, farmers and local sheriffs are taking cybercrime seriously and you should too! Read this blog by AARP Oklahoma State Director Sean Voskuhl then join him for a live conversation about cybercrime on AARP Live airing at 9 pm CT this Thursday, August 20th on the RFD-TV Network.

About 59 million people received a Social Security benefit in 2014. Social Security is a key source of retirement income for older Americans: about 23 percent of people age 65 and older live in families that depend on Social Security benefits for 90 percent or more of their income. Another 25 percent receive at least half but less than 90 percent of their family income from Social Security. Reliance on Social Security increases with age, with nearly one third of persons aged 80 and older depending on Social Security for 90% or more of family income. In 2013, Social Security kept 33 percent of older Americans out of poverty.
