Starting May 14, AARP Delaware is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. 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 recent AARP survey of Delawareans age 45 and older revealed that 92 percent of those who responded are worried about having enough savings to retire. AARP learned that 68% of Delawareans think it’s important to have a way to save for retirement through the workplace. That’s why AARP supports House Bill 205, DE EARNS. This state-facilitated savings opportunity makes it easier for workers to save for the future, right out of their paychecks. AARP believes people should age with dignity and independence, and DE EARNS will help make that possible for all.
