Fraud cost veterans, service members, and their families $477 million in 2023, according to the latest Federal Trade Commission (FTC) data, and this only includes fraud that was reported.

Helena, Mont., Nov. 19, 2024 – In a heartwarming and emotional reunion, 100-year-old Holocaust survivor Helena Stefaniak was granted her greatest wish: to reunite with her sister Barbara one last time. The sisters, who survived the horrors of Nazi Germany’s occupation of Poland during World War II, were reunited last summer through the efforts of Wish of a Lifetime, a charitable affiliate of AARP dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of older Americans.
Tax filing season may be months away, but the AARP Foundation’s Tax-Aide program in Nebraska is already seeking volunteers who want to serve their community. Tax-Aide focuses on serving older adults with low to moderate income and helps them secure much-needed tax refunds.
Across the country, someone’s identity is stolen every two seconds. Fraud is an escalating crisis, with losses far exceeding what is reported. While $9 billion in fraud losses were reported in 2022, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates the true financial impact at $137 billion due to underreporting. The impact on victims and their families can be financially and emotionally devastating, especially for older Americans.
Jack Lunsford is still amazed when he considers how vast AARP’s mission is as an organization. AARP enhances the quality of life for older people, promotes their independence, determines the role and place of older persons in society and improves the image of aging.
