AARP Florida is making a difference where you live.
April brings new opportunities to get involved and give back. As the legislative session moves forward, AARP Florida is focused on advocating for older adults, supporting volunteers making a difference, and helping you stay ahead of evolving scams.

Nearly one in five Floridians receives benefits, with 46% of those 65+ relying on them for at least half their income—making these changes especially troubling.
