As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older adults—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.
With more than 58,000 veterans calling Delaware home, AARP has a long history of supporting those who have served in the U.S. armed forces, and we take pride in helping them navigate life’s transitions. Caring for a veteran or service member is meaningful work, but it can also be challenging. Every caregiving journey is unique, and AARP is here to help. We offer free resources and community programs designed to support military families and caregivers. These include guidance on health care and housing, fraud protection, career training, job search assistance, and family caregiving.
Did you know that active-duty service members and their families are nearly 40% more likely to lose money to scams and fraud than civilians? Scammers often exploit Veteran’s backgrounds, benefits, and sense of trust. AARP is here to help. We offer resources that can prevent you from losing your hard-earned money.

AARP sent a letter to Governor John Carney and Elections Commissioner Albence asking for some adjustment that would make it easier for Delawareans to vote, safely, during this difficult time.
