Two-Day Ice Cream Tour Brought Communities and Congressional Leaders Together to Share Stories and Rally Support for Protecting Social Security
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.

AARP New Jersey is teaming up with Rutgers University during the 2025 football season to help tackle when, where and how to vote in the 2025 NJ elections so New Jerseyans can make their voices heard.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate one of the most enduring and impactful programs in American history: Social Security! That’s right, August 14th marks 90 years since Social Security was signed into law in 1935. And like any good nonagenarian, it’s got stories to tell, wisdom to share, a whole lot of people who are grateful for its existence and it needs our care.

The New Year rang in a new commitment to family caregivers in New Jersey. As a result of the hard work of AARP staff and volunteers, coalition partners and the leadership of Assemblywomen Lampitt, Mosquera, and Vainieri Huttle as well as Senators Vitale and Greenstein and the Governor, a bill to create a New Jersey Caregiver Task Force (A3514/S959) was signed into law December 28, 2018. Soon after, a bill to significantly expand our state’s Paid Family Leave Insurance Program (A3975/S2528) passed the Legislature under the leadership of Senate President Sweeney and Senators Diegnan and Ruiz and Assemblywomen Quijano, Downey and Assemblyman Giblin on January 31, 2019 – and was signed into law by Governor Murphy on February 19, 2019.
As with many unpleasant things, we often put off doing our taxes until the last minute. But as much as you don’t want to face those 1040 forms, there’s one very good reason to file well before April 15: It’s your best defense against tax-related identity theft.
AARP New Jersey endorses the efforts of cities, towns, and localities to make every community a great place to live for people of all ages. This includes providing safe, walkable streets; age friendly housing and transportation options; access to needed services; and opportunities for residents to be active members of their communities. Once in place, these resources enhance personal independence, allow residents to age in place, and foster residents' engagement in the community's civic, economic, and social life.
