As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older Kansans—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, a chance to recognize the contributions, commitment, and sacrifices made by America’s 63 million family caregivers every single day.
The following are bills or issues that AARP Kansas staff and advocacy volunteers prioritized during the 2022 Kansas Legislative Session and their status at the close of the session. These bills particularly impact Kansans age 50 and older as well as other Kansans.
April is National Volunteer Month and provides the perfect opportunity for staff at AARP Kansas to thank our volunteers all across the state who dedicate their time and talents to make a positive impact on the lives of Kansans, particularly those age 50 and older. Volunteers are a critical resource for AARP and the work we do whether it be through advocacy or community outreach.
