America marks Social Security’s 90th Anniversary on August 14.
90 years ago, our country made a promise to provide hardworking Americans with a way to earn a foundation for financial security in retirement. This year, AARP is proudly celebrating Social Security’s legacy while fighting to protect and strengthen it for older Americans today and for our kids and grandkids tomorrow.
