AARP is launching a nationwide movement, I Am A Caregiver. To many lawmakers, America’s millions of caregivers are invisible. Yet, these family caregivers hold up a broken long-term care system, which is why AARP is looking for your help.
The Show-Me MyRetirement Savings Plan—slated to begin by September—is aimed at businesses with 50 or fewer employees. If a company signs up, its workers will be automatically enrolled into a 401(k) that is tied to payroll deduction, unless they opt out.
AARP Maine has a dedicated team of Fraud Watch Network volunteers who provide free presentations to community groups about how to protect yourself against fraud.
Older adults reported losing $3.4 billion to fraud nationally in 2023, according to the most recent FBI data. Cases ranged from investment and imposter scams to fake lotteries.
The kiosks—often located in gas stations, groceries or convenience stores—convert cash into difficult-to-trace digital currency. Growth in such scams has led to calls for legislation to better protect South Carolina consumers.
