Signed into law in 1965, the Older Americans Act (OAA) is a keystone of federal aging policy. It powers nutrition programs, elder rights protections, senior center programs, caregiver support, and more. Ask your members of Congress to reauthorize the OAA so services can continue uninterrupted.

No one should skip a doctor’s visit or dose of medicine due to cost. Ask your members of Congress to continue the bipartisan support of a program that connects low-income older adults with programs to help them afford Medicare costs.

Obesity is a serious chronic condition that impacts 41.5% of adults ages 60+. Yet Medicare doesn’t cover all obesity treatments, making quality care unaffordable for older adults. Congress is considering the bipartisan Treat and Reduce Obesity Act to change this. Urge your lawmakers to pass the bill.

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.

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.

Age discrimination presents a unique obstacle for older adults. Help support two bills that could restore the original intent of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Your support can stop age discrimination for older American workers.
