April brings new opportunities to get involved and give back. As the legislative session moves forward, AARP Florida is focused on advocating for older adults, supporting volunteers making a difference, and helping you stay ahead of evolving scams. Stay connected with us this month for the latest updates, resources, and ways to make an impact in your community.
At AARP Florida, we know the power of volunteers to drive meaningful change in communities across the state. Each day, our volunteers embody passion, leadership, and a deep commitment to making life better for Floridians 50+. And now, it’s time once again to recognize one extraordinary individual with our highest volunteer honor.
Florida Power & Light (FPL) is proposing an increase that will impact many Floridians, especially seniors on fixed incomes. This proposal raises the minimum base bill for residential customers from $25 to $30—forcing them to pay more regardless of their actual energy usage.
AARP is hearing from countless older Americans confused and concerned about Social Security payment delays, office access, and long wait times following proposed SSA operational changes. Nearly one in five Floridians receives benefits, with 46% of those 65+ relying on them for at least half their income—making these changes especially troubling.
