Today, volunteers and staff from Florida were on Capitol Hill to advocate on behalf of AARP members and all older Americans on the crucial issues of Family Caregiving and Social Security. While meeting with members of Congress, these volunteers and staff have carried crucial asks:
Florida Power & Light (FPL) is asking the state Public Service Commission for a $1.34 billion increase in electric rates. AARP believes the level of this proposed rate increase isn’t justified.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Department of Elder Affairs will prioritize need for the state’s residents on its wait lists for home and community-based long-term care (HCBS) services, according to a law (House Bill 1335) signed by Gov. Rick Scott on Friday.
For immediate release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida lawmakers have sent Gov. Rick Scott a proposed new law to toughen oversight of professional guardians in the wake of two years of controversy over frail, vulnerable Floridians who have been bilked by untrustworthy professional guardians.
