AARP Florida is partnering with WISER to host a series of workshops aimed at giving women the knowledge to build a financially successful future as they age.

Given the projected Social Security shortfall in 2034, AARP is focused on helping older Americans better understand their Social Security benefits and learn about the policies that would strengthen the program for current and future generations. If Congress doesn’t act, millions of Americans who are counting on Social Security will see cuts to the money they’ve earned. If Washington doesn't take action in the next 10 years to protect and save Social Security, it could be cut by 20%, an average of $4,000 a year. That's why AARP Minnesota and AARP Wisconsin have teamed up to bring two events to the Duluth-Superior area that wrestle head-on with the economic impact of Social Security and generational perspectives on retirement.

Texans who have lost their homes due to damage from Hurricane Harvey could be eligible for special federal disaster assistance. In addition, Texans with federally backed mortgages who were already at risk of losing their homes for financial reasons before Harvey struck are getting a temporary reprieve from foreclosure.
