AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.

A new AARP survey, released in conjunction with Social Security’s 90th anniversary, confirms that Americans highly value Social Security, and even more so than five years ago. The vast majority of Americans – 95% of Republicans, 98% of Democrats, and 93% of Independents – consider Social Security vital to the financial security of all Americans, and 67% believe it is even more important for retirees than it was five years ago.

Join AARP Kansas each week on Monday's at noon for the Sunflower Scoop. Every week, we showcase an AARP Kansas volunteer talking about a particular topic he or she has expertise in or demonstrating a "how to" tip. Each video is less than five minutes long. So far we've learned how to scoop out a pumpkin for pumpkin pie, how to write a blog, what to do with outdoor plants during winter months, and how to draw an eyeball. There's something for everyone. And there's so much more to come. Check it out on Facebook.com/aarpks. Or, you can watch on our YouTube channel.
AARP is working to develop a retirement savings program for people who don’t have access to one through their employer.
