AARP Hearing Center
January is back-to-work time for state lawmakers, and AARP is primed to take action on behalf of West Virginians age 50-plus. The two-month regular session begins Jan. 14, and AARP West Virginia is mobilizing its Capitol Advocacy Team of volunteers to press for legislation to bolster retirement security, lighten the load on family caregivers and strengthen services that help people age in place.
Based on a belief that everyone’s possibilities expand with age, AARP DC invites members and other District residents to participate in Life Reimagined. The free program offers a series of exercises to help people figure out what makes them happy and how to incorporate more of those factors into their lives.
Marylanders are facing a potential phaseout of copper landlines, as phone companies seek to move customers to cheaper—but not necessarily as reliable—telephone technology. The threat is especially worrisome to those who need a landline phone in emergencies and those in rural areas. Congestion can delay 911 calls on wireless networks.
In New Jersey, where Verizon has not rebuilt some of the telephone lines destroyed by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, AARP is fighting to keep landlines available.
