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.
In April, AARP Kansas held a Tele-Townhall to create awareness about popular scams that are circulating this time of year and to offer information and resources on how to avoid them. Participants on the call from Kansas and Missouri also asked questions about frauds and scams they have encountered.
Governor Laura Kelly is encouraging Kansans to apply for funds available through the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) to help pay high electricity bills caused by extremely cold temperatures. Due to the severe cold weather the state experienced in February, Kansans may see higher than usual utility costs.
Are you searching for answers about how the COVID-19 Vaccine will be distributed in Kansas and how you can get vaccinated? AARP Kansas invites you to participate in a Telephone Town Hall meeting on Thursday, March 4 at 10:00 a.m. We'll be talking to Governor Kelly's Chief Advisor for COVID-19 Coordination for Kansas Marci Nielsen, PhD., and hear the latest updates about the vaccine distribution--especially for Kansans age 50 and older.
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.
