Reimagining the possibilities of life for Pennsylvanians
On Wednesday, June 25, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states descended on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.

Utility scams are surging across Pennsylvania, and AARP Pennsylvania urges adults aged 50-plus and their families to stay alert.

The age-friendly designation comes after the administration of Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) last year launched the Aging Our Way, PA 10-year plan, which focuses on ways to help older Pennsylvanians age in their own homes and communities.

At 72, Jack Howell of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, calls Voices of Migration the best idea he’s ever had—and he has good reason to. The longtime community advocate and part of the team of the Spanish-American Civic Association never considered himself a volunteer, much less an AARP member, until a conversation about a grant application took an unexpected turn.
Recently, Governor Shapiro signed two significant bills - House Bill 1100 and House Bill 611. AARP Pennsylvania celebrates these legislative actions, which will bolster the well-being of older homeowners and renters, helping them stay in their homes and communities.
Nearly 200 Philadelphians joined AARP Pennsylvania and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare for "Social Security: Here Today, Here Tomorrow" on July 26th.
The Master Plan for Older Adults will serve as a 10-year, state-led and stakeholder-driven roadmap to build and maintain a Pennsylvania where every resident can live and thrive at any age. And the Commonwealth needs your help to make it happen. Read on to see how you can help guide the ongoing process.
Statement by AARP Pennsylvania State Director Bill Johnston-Walsh on the passing of the former first lady of Pennsylvania:
AARP Pennsylvania State Director Bill Johnston Walsh's statement.
AARP Pennsylvania urges Pennsylvanians to use call screening as a powerful defense against scams. By letting answering machines or voicemail screen calls, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of falling for fraudulent schemes.
When it comes to fraud, knowledge is indeed power. But how can we spread that knowledge around so more people are empowered to protect themselves?
Criminals use a lot of different tactics to steal money from consumers, and one of those tactics is the promise of free money. This summer the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is warning taxpayers to be on the lookout for a new scam mailing that tries to mislead people into believing the IRS owes them a refund.
It’s hurricane season – along with wildfire and flooding season - and one of the things that often comes with all of the personal losses from a natural disaster are fake charities offering to help.
Following extreme weather events, dubious contractors and outright scammers descend on affected communities, offering quick, cheap fixes. They canvas neighborhoods in search of “work” that they may or may not even attempt to do. Many will specifically target older homeowners who they perceive as more likely to have savings.
