Today, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states are descending on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.

AARP CEO Myechia Minter-Jordan issued the following statement in response to the Social Security and Medicare Trustees’ reports released today:

$76,000 in grants aims to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects

To commemorate this milestone, AARP Idaho is inviting AARP members and invited guests to join us August 6 for an evening at Zoo Boise. You’ll receive admission to the zoo while enjoying complimentary ice cream, refreshments and shaded pavilions. Ride the carousel, feed the goats, we’ll even have face painting for the kids (or adults). It’s an entirely new way to enjoy the zoo and an evening the whole family will enjoy!

Idaho became the latest state to pass a report-and-hold law that allows banks and other financial institutions to slow down a transaction they think might be an example of financial exploitation.

This year marks the 90th anniversary of Social Security— a cornerstone of financial security in America. For nine decades, it has kept hundreds of millions of Americans out of poverty and given families across the country peace of mind and dignity in retirement.
