AARP New Jersey
AARP New Jersey educates and advocates on behalf of those 50+ on issues that are important to them, their families, and to all Garden State residents.
New Brunswick, NJ – Ann Lippel has been selected by AARP, the nonprofit organization for people 50 and older, to receive the 2025 AARP New Jersey Andrus Award for Community Service, the Association’s most prestigious and visible state volunteer award for community service.
As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older adults—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.
Starting January 2026, Social Security payments will increase by 2.8%. This cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) means the average monthly retirement payment will rise by about $56, from $2,015 to $2,071. Survivor benefits will go up by roughly $52, and disability payments will increase by $44. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will see their first boosted payment on December, payable in January 2026.
AARP New Jersey has teamed up with ONNJ for the television series, The Power of Us, hosted by State Director Chris Widelo.

Adelantar la política pública de envejecimiento activo de la Ley 121-2019 requiere propuestas legislativas integrales. Las medidas a continuación propulsadas por AARP buscan fortalecer la protección, el bienestar y la inclusión de las personas mayores. Entre las medidas propuestas se encuentra la creación de una ley para capacitar profesionales de la salud en geriatría y gerontología, así como enmiendas a la Carta de Derechos de los Adultos Mayores para garantizar mayor seguridad jurídica. Además, se impulsa la actualización de políticas sobre cuidado informal y seguridad financiera en el retiro, junto con programas de formación para cuidadores y jóvenes trabajadores. Estas propuestas también promueven igualdad en el desarrollo empresarial, mejoran la accesibilidad en servicios públicos y fomentan el aprendizaje a través de toda la vida. En conjunto, estas acciones reflejan un compromiso por construir un Puerto Rico más justo, inclusivo y preparado, en donde todos podamos alcanzar nuestros anhelos, no importa la edad.

Alianza multisectorial junto a la Policía de PRpara luchar contra estafas dirigidas a personas mayores
El Negociado Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) estableció el “Centro de quejas sobre el crimen por internet’’ (conocido como IC3), una herramienta para que el público pueda reportar estafas y crímenes cibernéticos. El IC3 recibe y analiza las querellas para rastrear estafadores y la sofisticación de los esquemas de fraude por internet. El FBI utiliza la información provista para sus investigaciones y hacer lo posible por ayudar las víctimas para recuperar sus pérdidas.
