Property Tax Relief, Full Pension Payments and Affordable Utilities
For our 2025 advocacy agenda, AARP New Jersey is prioritizing health security, financial security, affordable housing and implementing new laws that support people 50 and older.
Expanding Housing Options and Affordable Housing
Transforming our Long-Term Care System
RetireReady NJ, StayNJ, Prescription Drug Affordability Council and Presumptive Eligibility
RetireReady NJ is a new retirement savings program, created by the New Jersey Secure Choice Savings Program Act, a law AARP fought for to ensure you have a brighter and more secure financial future. Workers at all levels of earnings, education, and backgrounds can benefit from the ability to use RetireReady NJ to save for retirement.
RetireReady NJ is a new state-administered retirement savings program for private-sector workers who don’t have access to an employer-sponsored plan, such as a 401(k).
A new state law, signed by Gov. Phil Murphy (D) in March, defines accessory dwelling units as affordable housing. ADUs are built on the same lot as a single-family home and include in-law suites, garage apartments and backyard cottages.
Some older low-income New Jerseyans are forced to go into nursing homes rather than get care at home because of red tape in the Medicaid program.
AARP New Jersey applauds Governor Murphy and the NJ Legislature for expanding access to affordable housing to help older New Jersey residents stay in their homes and communities.
