The Social Security Administration confirmed to AARP that beginning April 14, they will allow all claim types to be completed over the telephone as they previously had been. This includes Retirement, Survivors, and Auxiliary (Spouse or Child) benefits that SSA previously announced would require in-person identity proofing, in addition to Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and SSI.
AARP Kansas honors six individuals with a combined 60 years of service for their volunteerism, leadership, and advocacy. The organization presented the Annual Andrus Award and Kansas Volunteer Excellence Awards during a recent two-day volunteer recognition and training event.

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.
AARP recognizes and values the spirit of volunteerism and the important contributions volunteers make to their state and communities. We couldn't do our work without them. Volunteers provide extraordinary service each day to improve the quality of life for Kansans.
