With the start of the 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session just over a month away, AARP New Mexico volunteers and staff are already preparing on how best to get several issues passed during the busy 60-days legislators will be at the Roundhouse.
Leading the list of priorities is paid family and medical leave.
While many people might be familiar with the discounts and insurance products AARP offers, they may not know about the work AARP does at the local level or the kinds of resources AARP has that can make everyday living easier.
To show people the many sides of AARP, AARP New Mexico is conducting an evening reception, Nov. 6, in Santa Fe to show the community the work that is being done right in their hometown.
AARP New Mexico will be conducting two free document shredding events -- one in Santa Fe and one in Las Cruces – both taking place Saturday, Oct. 26.
The event in Santa Fe, however, will have a special combination. AARP New Mexico is joining forces with the New Mexico Department of Justice, which will offer safe disposal of prescription drugs, as part of Drug Take Back Day. Both services will be drive-through.
AARP released a report Aug. 28 that shows an estimated 16,073 New Mexicans on Medicare prescription drug plans will see savings thanks to a new out-of-pocket cap that starts Jan. 1, 2025.
AARP New Mexico is working right here in our state to help individuals reach their full potential no matter their age. For some people, reaching age 50 isn’t about slowing down. It’s about shaping their future into their best life ever.
