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.

Making a difference doesn't stop as you age. Millions of older adults are using their experience to give back, to solve problems, and to change lives. The AARP® Purpose Prize® award honors extraordinary individuals who use their lived experiences to make a better future for all.

AARP Kansas invites local eligible non-profit organizations and governments across the country to apply for the 2025 AARP Community Challenge grant program, now through March 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. AARP Community Challenge grants fund quick-action projects that help communities become more livable by improving public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and more. Now in its ninth year, the program is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for all residents, especially those age 50 and older.

Campaign to Focus on Protecting 50-plus Voters and Making Their Voices Heard
COVID-19 has changed how Kansans will cast their ballots in the state’s primary and general elections in August and November, 2020. AARP Kansas will be joined by Secretary of State Scott Schwab to talk about how Kansas voters can safely cast their ballots in the upcoming elections, as well as registration deadlines, voting options and other resources Kansans should know about during this election season.

AARP in Kansas City is hosting a virtual support drive to help Harvesters - The Community Food Network fight hunger. If you are lucky enough to be able to work from home or shelter in place without losing income, you are among the fortunate. Some of our friends and neighbors are not as fortunate and may need food assistance for the first time.
Kansans reported more than $10 million lost to fraud in 2019, and AARP wants to make sure residents don’t fall victim to common scams this year.
Grab a cup of coffee and join AARP Kansas for a virtual coffee chat every Wednesday at 10 a.m. on Facebook. AARP Kansas Community Outreach and Advocacy Director Andrea Bozarth will discuss a different topic each week and we invite you to join the conversation by listening to the presenter and asking questions or making comments through the chat box. Some previous topics have been caregiving, favorite books you're reading, the AARP Friendly Voices program, and Covid-19 information. Future topics will include fraud prevention tips, conversations with local Kansas mayors and city officials, and resources for veterans, military and their family. You can join the conversation by visiting www.facebook.org/aarpks.
Scammers look to capitalize on the news of the moment, especially if the headlines can instill fear and motivate people to act. With Veterans and Military families twice as likely as civilians to be targeted by Con Artists during good times, the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus is no exception during our current uncertainty. While scientists and medical professionals are working overtime to find ways to test for and stem the spread of the virus, the Federal Trade Commission warns that bad actors are working hard to use this as an opportunity to deceive consumers and steal their money or sensitive information.
AARP Kansas shares information, resources and fun posts on our Facebook page. Want to connect with us on Facebook but aren’t sure how? We are here to help!
