On Tuesday, April 4, at 10:30 a.m., AARP Massachusetts will host a virtual lobby day to share legislative priorities with its members and state lawmakers.
These include pushing for a caregiver tax credit to help defray out-of-pocket costs; improving the quality of care in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities by increasing minimum nurse staffing ratios and improving the state’s preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks; removing certain restrictions related to senior property tax deferrals; and expanding the state’s CORE Plan, which is a 401(k) savings plan for employees of small nonprofits.
The virtual lobby day is an opportunity for members to hear from key lawmakers pushing bills to improve the quality of life for residents 50-plus, says Mike Festa, AARP Massachusetts state director. “Legislators also get to meet the people they’re fighting for and hear their stories.”
