A new AARP survey, released in conjunction with Social Security’s 90th anniversary, confirms that Americans highly value Social Security, and even more so than five years ago. The vast majority of Americans – 95% of Republicans, 98% of Democrats, and 93% of Independents – consider Social Security vital to the financial security of all Americans, and 67% believe it is even more important for retirees than it was five years ago.

Once an educator, always a changemaker.
AARP Minnesota is raising concerns over a recent decision by the Legislature’s Commerce working group that could significantly impact Medicare choices for older Minnesotans.
To help alleviate a housing shortage that makes it difficult for many older Minnesotans to find affordable housing, AARP Minnesota is working with a broad-based coalition to push the state Legislature to help expand affordable housing options.
Older Minnesotans are facing a critical issue that could impact their access to essential Medicare plans. A state law passed in 2023 was designed to protect their right to choose the best Medicare plan for their needs, including Medicare Supplemental plans (Medigap). However, some lawmakers are now attempting to repeal this law, which would strip away these protections and limit their choices.
Starting May 14, 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.
Most Minnesotans become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65 years old. A state law passed in 2023 will soon help older residents choose the best Medicare plan for their needs. Unfortunately, some lawmakers want to repeal this law.
