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.
The world around us is constantly changing—from new technologies and different fashions to the changing seasons, it's something new every day. But the age-old question remains the same: What's for dinner tonight?
Rising housing costs and inflation have hit Michigan families hard in recent years, especially older adults with low or moderate incomes. According to a recent AARP study, 82 percent of adults 45 and older are concerned that increasing property taxes would impact their ability to remain in their home as they age.
On August 14, AARP recognizes the 90th Anniversary of Social Security. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.
A new AARP survey, released in conjunction with Social Security’s 90th anniversary, confirms that Americans highly value Social Security, and even more so than five years ago. The vast majority of Americans – 95% of Republicans, 98% of Democrats, and 93% of Independents – consider Social Security vital to the financial security of all Americans, and 67% believe it is even more important for retirees than it was five years ago.
