On Jan. 30, AARP Georgia volunteers and staff traveled to the Georgia State Capitol Day to advocate for the Virtual Visitation Bill (HB 849).

WASHINGTON—AARP released the following statement today in response to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) citation of AARP in television advertisements. Said Colby Nelson, AARP spokesperson:

RALEIGH -- With individual retirement savings being insufficient for millions of North Carolinians, in 2019, the General Assembly passed the Small Business Retirement Study -- a measure that will advise state lawmakers on the best way to establish retirement savings options that work best for small business owners and their employees.

The Oregon legislature convenes for a short 5-week session February 3. We are working hard to help pass a bill to create an Age Discrimination Task Force.

Don Anderson says a state-facilitated retirement savings option would help him keep his nine employees.

This was a busy week for AARP South Dakota. On Tuesday, we held our annual Lobby Day and brought nearly 100 advocates to Pierre to support AARP South Dakota legislative priorities. Our Sioux Falls advocates had a briefing from Sioux Falls area legislators in the Visitor’s Center, while our Northeast and West River advocates hosted lunch in the Capitol Rotunda. Overall, we connected with over 70 legislators and took a group picture with Governor Noem, Lt. Governor Rhoden and Attorney General Ravnsborg. Thanks to everyone that came to Pierre and helped make our Lobby Day a success!

Last year volunteers prepared returns for more than 6,000 low- to moderate income Alaskans, and brought more than $6.8 million in refunds into the state.
