You’re invited to “Step Out” with AARP Ohio. You’ll learn all of the ways you can “Step Up” to make a difference firsthand from AARP Volunteers right here in your own community.
We’re giving Congress 100+ reasons to prioritize a tax credit for family caregivers in the first 100 days of the new presidency. Add your reason to the list.
Join AARP Ohio's community of volunteers and donate your time and talent — in person or from home — to improve the lives of older Ohioans and their families.
The Credit for Caring Act, if enacted, would offer up to a $5,000 nonrefundable federal tax credit to help offset family caregiving-related expenses, such as home care aides, adult day services, home modifications and respite care.

In the past year alone one-quarter of Ohioans 18 and older have had their personal information exposed to identity theft and fraud. And our latest research shows that older Americans are scammed out of about $3 billion every single year. Making sure that all Ohioans are not only aware of the latest fraud schemes, but are also armed with the tools and resources to prevent and recover from fraud is the goal of our AARP Fraud Watch Network. So I was pleased to represent AARP last week when the Ohio Attorney General’s Office held a press conference to launch “Ohio Protects”, a new multi-media outreach initiative to increase Ohioans’ awareness of the most common scams, fraud, and identity theft and how they can protect themselves.
