EN ESPAÑOL | NEW YORK — AARP New York 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 Mike Lawler, Nicole Malliotakis and Ritchie Torres of New York, 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. On average, family caregivers spend over $7,200 annually —26% of their income — on out-of-pocket expenses.

AARP ND supports HB 1114, a bill to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs for all North Dakotans.

I love North Carolina and I understand why our state is one of the most rapidly growing retirement places in the US. I am glad we are growing, but I must admit that I am also worried about our ability to keep up with the growth.
