AARP North Dakota Advocacy

Since 1935, Social Security has been a cornerstone of financial security for older Americans, enabling them to live and retire with dignity. Social Security is earned through a lifetime of hard work and has weathered economic downturns, political changes, and demographic shifts. In 90 years, Social Security has never missed a payment. Today, more than 69 million Americans, rely on Social Security, including 146,000 North Dakotans.

In August, AARP celebrated Social Security's 90th anniversary. Ensure it stays strong for the next 90 years by signing the pledge to join the fight to protect Social Security for future generations to come.
