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.

With only a few days before the final Presidential debate, Northern Virginia AARP volunteers joined with AARP staff and volunteers from the national office and other states to ask Fox News, the debate sponsor, to question the presidential candidates for their positions on funding Social Security.
AARP Virginia invites you to join Delegate Jennifer McClellan (D) and Delegate Chris Peace (R) at Baja Bean Co. at 8:30 p.m. on October 19 to watch the final presidential debate before the election.
Lisa W., 52, is married with one daughter who is a senior in high school and planning to go to college next year. Lisa began working at the age of 16 and has been paying into Social Security for the past 36 years. She first worked in fast food in high school, waited tables in college, and managed restaurants for a time before settling into her current job as the Director of Marketing at a regional credit union.
If nothing is done to improve Social Security, benefits will have to be reduced by about 25 percent. We are encouraging the candidates to tell voters how they would make Social Security sustainable for future generations. Tell us your story about what Social Security means to your family.
