Since 1935, Social Security has helped older Americans live and retire with dignity, supported people with disabilities, and provided vital income to families after the loss of a loved one. While it has never missed a payment, Social Security has its challenges.
The AARP Purpose Prize award honors nonprofit leaders 50 and older who use their lived experiences to make a better future for all. The call for applications ends Feb. 29, 2024. Don’t miss a chance to earn $50,000 for your organization and a year of support to help broaden the scope of your work.

Ohio ranks 39th in nursing-home quality, according to recent data from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. A task force, created by Governor Mike DeWine in February, has held listening sessions and recommended changes.
For caregivers, figuring out the best way to make critical medical and financial choices for an ailing loved one can be daunting. AARP is here to help.
