AARP Florida is making a difference where you live.
Today, AARP Florida celebrates legislative wins as the 2025 legislative session comes to a close.
AARP has a long history of supporting veterans and military families. This includes about six million military service members who are AARP members today. At AARP Florida, we’re providing Florida-specific resources for veterans across our state.
The Florida Public Service Commission has scheduled a series of public hearings across Florida — including in Fort Myers, Miami Gardens, Hollywood, West Palm Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Pensacola, and Panama City — to gather input on Florida Power & Light’s proposed rate hike.
Florida Power & Light (FPL) is proposing an increase that will impact many Floridians, especially seniors on fixed incomes. This proposal raises the minimum base bill for residential customers from $25 to $30—forcing them to pay more regardless of their actual energy usage.
Watch out for these three scams. Natural disasters often bring an influx of con artists ready to take advantage of suffering and confusion.
Join the Fight: AARP Florida Launches 'Get Amp'd UP to Keep Rates DOWN' Campaign Against Duke Energy and TECO's Rate Hike Proposals
How do you know if you’re saving enough money for your retirement? Earlier this year, a national AARP study found that more than 3 in 5 people over 50 said that they were not currently saving enough for retirement, but when asked how much they needed in order to retire, almost 1 in 3 said they didn’t know. So how can you find out whether you’re on track for retirement savings?
What if I need help but don’t have anyone? Who will take care of my stuff when I die? Do I need a trust?
Florida está ampliando un programa de subvenciones estatales para ayudar a más personas a mejorar sus viviendas para evitar daños causados por huracanes y reducir las primas de seguros.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, observed annually on June 15th, aims to raise awareness about the abuse and neglect that older adults face. This day serves as a global call to action to address the challenges and injustices that elderly individuals endure, ranging from physical harm to emotional and financial exploitation.
Florida is expanding a state grant program to help more people upgrade their homes to prevent damage from hurricanes and reduce insurance premiums.
TECO is asking for a total base rate increase of $467.7 million for residential consumers through 2027. Over three years, the total revenue raised from the rate increases would be between $1.14 billion and $1.23 billion. It's unjust that our hard-earned money, meant to cover essential services like electricity, is being used for lobbying efforts that serve the interests of utility companies.
Duke Energy is seeking approval for an $820 million increase from the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC). This rate hike will burden households already struggling with rising costs.
Millions of Florida residents find electric utility issues hard to follow. Regulated by a far-away, low-profile state agency, largely the domain of expensive utilities lawyers, powerful corporations and influential special interest experts, electric utility regulations are often unfair and unfamiliar for customers.
