Reimagining the possibilities of life for Pennsylvanians
This May, in honor of Older Americans Month, AARP Pennsylvania joined PCN’s Focus on Aging Adults to discuss how Pennsylvania is supporting its rapidly growing older population. This year’s observance challenges outdated stereotypes and celebrates the contributions and potential of adults aged 50+.
More than one million private sector workers nationwide are now saving for retirement through state-facilitated Auto-IRA programs — a major milestone in the effort to address the nation’s retirement savings challenges.
These plans help workers whose workplaces do not offer a retirement plan to automatically contribute a portion of their paycheck into a secure retirement savings account.
Despite growing momentum across the country, Pennsylvania does not yet offer such a program.
A new survey from AARP Pennsylvania reveals that Pittsburgh voters 50+ will be the deciding factor in determining the city’s next leader.
Pittsburgh voters aged 50 and older constitute a significant voting bloc that candidates cannot afford to ignore. In the 2021 mayoral primary, voters over 50 made up 57 percent of all voters, and 60 percent of all in the general election.
AARP Pennsylvania commends the reintroduction of the Credit for Caring Act, legislation that would provide financial relief to eligible working family caregivers. The bill, co-sponsored by U.S. Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) and Mike Kelly (PA-16), offers up to a $5,000 nonrefundable federal tax credit to help offset caregiving expenses, addressing the significant personal and financial sacrifices caregivers make to support their loved ones.
Ohio legislators introduce a tax credit bill to help offset out-of-pocket expenses for caregivers.

The Iowa legislature passed a bill to increase consumer protections and regulation of cryptocurrency kiosks. Iowans have lost millions of dollars to crypto kiosk fraud, and older Iowans are frequently the targets of these scams.
