Reimagining the possibilities of life for Pennsylvanians
More than one million private sector workers nationwide are now saving for retirement through state-facilitated Auto-IRA programs — a major milestone in the effort to address the nation’s retirement savings challenges.
These plans help workers whose workplaces do not offer a retirement plan to automatically contribute a portion of their paycheck into a secure retirement savings account.
Despite growing momentum across the country, Pennsylvania does not yet offer such a program.
A new survey from AARP Pennsylvania reveals that Pittsburgh voters 50+ will be the deciding factor in determining the city’s next leader.
Pittsburgh voters aged 50 and older constitute a significant voting bloc that candidates cannot afford to ignore. In the 2021 mayoral primary, voters over 50 made up 57 percent of all voters, and 60 percent of all in the general election.
AARP Pennsylvania commends the reintroduction of the Credit for Caring Act, legislation that would provide financial relief to eligible working family caregivers. The bill, co-sponsored by U.S. Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) and Mike Kelly (PA-16), offers up to a $5,000 nonrefundable federal tax credit to help offset caregiving expenses, addressing the significant personal and financial sacrifices caregivers make to support their loved ones.
AARP Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation hosted an in-person screening of Chinatown Stories: Philadelphia’s YeShi Night Market, the first documentary episode of AARP’s series on the resilience of Chinatowns across the United States.
Screened at the Crane Center in Philadelphia’s Chinatown, the event was attended by more than 200 residents, including elected officials and influencers throughout the region.
There are about $675 billion reasons that you should care about the 2020 Census. The census influences how your tax dollars are spent over the next ten years. For every person who isn’t counted it costs your community tens of thousands of dollars.

Applications are currently being accepted through Wednesday, April 1, 2020 11:59 p.m. ET.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Sites Are Now Open in Pennsylvania
AARP Pennsylvania today praised the Wolf Administration’s plan to increase funding in the upcoming 2020-21 state budget for programs serving the state’s most vulnerable older adults.
AARP does not endorse candidates or make contributions to political campaigns or candidates. We have a proud 32-year history of non-partisan voter engagement, providing voters with information on where the candidates stand on issues important to our members and their families, so they can make their own decisions on Election Day.
A statewide information system that allows doctors, hospitals and other health care providers share medical records in real time is helping to improve patient care.
