JUL 15, 2025
This summer, AARP Pennsylvania is hitting the road in a decked-out van to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Social Security.

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.
AARP Pennsylvania and SeniorLAW Center announced a new initiative to help older Pennsylvanians navigate legal issues following the extreme devastation caused by Hurricane Ida last year. Ida plowed a path of destruction across the Northeast, bringing record rainfall, spawning tornados, and causing major flooding.

The cost of electricity will be increasing dramatically beginning June 1. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) recently alerted customers that most electric utilities will be adjusting electric generation prices next month. Depending on their electric utility company, many customers will see increases ranging between 6% and 45%. Here are some ways to reduce your energy bill.
The news that many electric distribution companies are notifying their residential customers that the cost of electricity will be increasing on June 1 is hitting Pennsylvanians at a time when they are confronted with higher prices for almost everything they’re buying. From gasoline to groceries, to prescription drugs and rent, many Pennsylvanians are struggling. In order to ensure that they know about available programs and tips that can assist in reducing their summer utility bills, AARP created a guide to help them.

AARP Pennsylvania launched a new statewide voter education campaign focused on helping communities and older adults cut through the noise and avoid confusion when exercising their right to vote.
