Help Keep Medicare Affordable
No one should skip a doctor’s visit or dose of medicine due to cost. Tell your members of Congress why a healthier American depends on affordable Medicare costs.
Strengthen and Protect the Older Americans Act
The OAA is the backbone of federal aging policy. It provides funding and rules for senior center activities, nutrition programs, health education programs, benefits counseling, caregiver support, job training and placement, elder rights protections, and more. Tell your members of Congress why these things matter to you.
Protect Food Assistance for Older Americans
For decades, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has proven to be an effective tool for fighting hunger and poverty, especially among older adults. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet, there are proposals in Congress, such as the Senior Hunger Prevention Act, that would strengthen this critical program. Help us protect (and improve) this much-needed food assistance program for vulnerable older adults.
Protect Jobs and Training for Older Adults
Many older adults are looking for work. They face financial hardship, want to learn new skills, or hope to contribute to their community, but face obstacles to employment. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the only federal program offering solutions to these problems. It's time for Congress to protect and support SCSEP.
