Starting May 14, AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.
This year marks a powerful milestone: 90 years of Social Security. Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed it into law in August of 1935, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security - ensuring Washingtonians can retire with dignity, supporting people with disabilities, and providing vital income after the loss of a loved one.

Let's look at some of the highlights.

Dear Members,
In a year of economic uncertainty, we recognize that many are rethinking budget priorities. This includes revisiting the Washington State biannual budget. While hard decisions are being made, AARP Washington strongly urges that any analysis and decisions consider the potential impact on our state’s most vulnerable populations, including older adults.
