In the face of the pandemic, now more than ever, the state budget is vital to the interests of our members and all New Jerseyans. This budget will help all New Jerseyans have a brighter and more secure financial future.
At AARP, we are committed to giving you access to the tools and resources you need to effectively manage your money, especially in uncertain times like these.
AARP New Jersey applauds Governor Murphy for signing a state budget today that includes a number of AARP-supported priorities such as, restoring property tax relief for older New Jerseyans, allocating startup funding for the New Jersey Secure Choice Savings Program, ensuring a healthy pension payment, and maintaining Medicaid funding.
AARP New Jersey partners with the state’s Division of Consumer Affairs and other agencies to get fraud warnings out through conferences, forums and shredding events.
