This year marks a powerful milestone: 90 years of Social Security. Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed it into law on August 14, 1935, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security - ensuring Washingtonians can retire with dignity, supporting people with disabilities, and providing vital income after the loss of a loved one.
You’re sipping your morning coffee when the phone rings. It’s your grandson. He sounds panicked. Says he’s in trouble and needs money to avoid jail. Fast!
Social Security was signed into law in 1935, and August 14th marks the 90th Anniversary. AARP Virgin Islands encouraged Governor Albert Bryan, Jr. to sign a proclamation marking August 14, 2025 as Social Security Day in the US Virgin Islands to honor this incredible achievement.
The fight against scams and fraud targeting older Americans took center stage in Miami-Dade County this week, as Jeff Johnson, State Director for AARP Florida, testified before the Senator Rick Scott and the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging during a field hearing focused on protecting seniors from financial exploitation.
On Monday, AARP Florida staff and volunteers brought a powerful message to the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC): Florida’s older residents, families, and those living on fixed incomes can’t afford another costly utility rate increase.
Republican nominee Winsome Earle-Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor, declined the invitation due to a scheduling conflict. Former U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s campaign accepted the debate invitation on behalf of the Democratic nominee in July.
