AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins offered the following statement in reaction to the Social Security Trustees report released today:
AARP and Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP)* will present a free workshop on July 13 in Grand Island to help people prepare financially for retirement.
