Helping connect Minnesotans to resources that help them save money and live their best life
Advocating for what is important to our members and giving you a voice at the state and federal levels is a priority for AARP Minnesota. Your voice matters. We work with local organizations and town and city officials on making our communities more livable and greater places to age with dignity and purpose.
AARP is sending a clear message that Social Security must be protected. We’re taking action to ensure that all older Americans can safely access the benefits they have earned and get questions answered in the ways that are best for them.
We’re giving Congress 100+ reasons to prioritize a tax credit for family caregivers in the first 100 days of the new presidency.

As the final month of an unconventional legislative session at the Minnesota State Capitol, several key factors have influenced the session. The House of Representatives is evenly split, with a 67-67 political party division, leading to a historic power-sharing agreement. Additionally, uncertainty about federal funding cuts looms large over the Capitol. The Legislature’s primary responsibility is to pass a state budget every two years, and legislators are working to meet the May 19, 2025 deadline.
One of things that makes the Twin Cities unique is a world class performing arts scene. This Fall AARP in the Twin Cities is excited to announce special ticket prices for AARP members and their guests at two of these venues.
Join AARP this fall to fight hunger and enjoy Oktoberfest at area craft breweries. Two growing trends in the Twin Cities are craft brewing and food insecurity in the 50+ population. AARP in the Twin Cities is celebrating the former in order to fight the later.

The scam is sometimes deceptively simple, as easy as stealing a credit card offer from your trash. Other times it can be far more complex, like the infamous con preying on worried grandparents. No matter the form, the impact is devastating. Identity theft, investment fraud and scams rob millions of Americans – last year there were 12.6 million victims of identity theft alone.

St. Paul --AARP today asked Governor Dayton to veto a now infamous Agriculture budget bill (HF 1437) that was amended and passed in the final seconds of the legislative session. During the closing seconds of session a 70 page amendment, mostly containing non-related policy items, was added and approved without debate as the House floor devolved into chaos.
