We know that property taxes are critical to the well-being of our communities. But for too many of our neighbors, rising property taxes are threatening their ability to stay in their homes as they age. We hope that you can join AARP Indiana for a conversation with experts and state leaders about property taxes.
The names of the first 10 Medicare drugs whose prices the federal government will negotiate directly with manufacturers were released Aug. 29. Popular but pricey blood thinners, diabetes medications, cancer treatments make historic list.
AARP will advocate for property tax relief for older residents during the state’s 2025 legislative session. Among the options it wants lawmakers to consider: allowing Hoosiers to defer payments or to pay in smaller installments, versus large lump-sum payments.
Throughout Indiana nearly 840,000 Hoosiers care for an older parent, spouse or other loved one, helping them to live safely and independently at home. These family caregivers take on huge responsibilities that can be overwhelming, stressful and exhausting. Many also juggle full- or part-time jobs.
If you are one of an estimated 837,000 Hoosiers who provide unpaid care for a family member or friend—or expect to be a caregiver in the future—AARP Indiana invites you to Caregiving Night on Thursday, June 22, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
You want to make the most of your future. That’s why AARP is providing free, unbiased information that will help you make smart financial decisions so you can live independently as you age. Join us for Take Charge of Your Financial Future: Back to Basics on Thursday, May 18, 2017. The event will be at the Ivy Tech Corporate College and Culinary Center from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. and will offer information about AARP’s free resources and online tools, and the chance to hear from speakers regarding financial, legal and Social Security issues.
