The more you know, the less likely you are to become a victim of investment fraud.

AARP is calling on Congress to reject the so-called “age rating” proposal for health insurance. It’s an unfair tax that would increase health care costs for older Americans — and would line the pockets of big insurance companies. AARP is fighting to stop this age tax and prevent insurance companies from unfairly hiking health care costs.

AARP is always finding new and fun ways to surprises and delight our membership. One way that we are doing that on Long island is giving our members the opportunity to get to know us at local Long Island theatres.

This past Election Day, AARP was proud to celebrate the passage of “The Los Angeles County Transportation Plan”, or Measure M. This ballot initiative is poised to deliver over $120 billion dollars’ worth of transit improvement projects that will relieve traffic across the region, fix sidewalks and potholes, and improve our quality of life. ( Read more here.) Now that the campaign is over, we’re hard at work at assembling an action plan to ensure that Measure M benefits AARP members across the County’s 88 cities. This week, we celebrated Measure M’s passage with our volunteers, and discussed the official launch of our special Los Angeles County transportation advocacy team. This team will be “in the know” about opportunities to speak up with your voice and help shape how Measure M dollars are spent in your communities. We’ll tell you all about the big meetings to attend and which elected representatives to contact. If you’d like to join this team, click here.

" We will introduce a new administrator to you, once she or he is chosen," or words to that effect, spoken to the residents of my ALF by the Big Boss.

There is nothing like an aroma from childhood to make one feel at home, and so it’s not surprising that Luul and Tekle, who were both born in Eritrea, love to make African coffee from scratch including roasting the beans themselves on the stovetop. Another nod to their roots is the picture of an African nomad and family in their living room who are also enjoying the delicious brew.

For Immediate Release: February 14, 2017

The Georgia Power of Attorney statute currently lacks specific language as to the fiduciary duties of the agent. Recently, Georgia State Representative Chuck Efstration introduced HB 221, which provides clearer language on legal rights of the person being represented, and protections for banks and third parties who accept the representation that there is a valid Power of Attorney in good faith. This proposed legislation will allow law enforcement and prosecutors further clarity for when someone is being financially exploited, which would help protect vulnerable adults and provide their caregivers with the tools they need to make important financial decisions. On Thursday, February 16 at 7:05pm, join our live discussion about important work taking place which will impact Power of Attorney law in Georgia. State Representative Chuck Efstration and other policy experts will discuss efforts to update this important effort. Click here to register for the event (registration is required for participation).
