AARP Applauds Gov. Scott's Endorsement of Reducing SS Tax Burden on Vermonters

Message from AARP Vermont on Gov. Scott’s Budget Address

“AARP Vermont is pleased to have heard Governor Scott strongly endorse the move to reduce and eliminate the state’s taxation of Social Security benefits for older and low income Vermonters – legislation AARP Vermont is working hard to see through to passage. Social Security provides a basic foundation of income stability for retirees and their families.  As one of only four states that tax these benefits, our Governor and legislators alike recognize the need to make a change that will contribute to the financial security of thousands of older Vermonters.”

--Greg Marchildon, AARP Vermont State Director
