AARP is strictly nonpartisan. We do not endorse candidates, and we do work with both sides of the aisle. What's more, we make sure voters have the info they need to have their voices heard at the voting booth--and we encourage them to make decisions based on the issues that matter most to them.

"For more than 1.2 million Alabamians, the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is more than a number. It’s help at the grocery store. It’s help keeping the lights on. It’s help with the costs for everyday essentials that can stretch household budgets to a breaking point," Candi Williams writes. Read full piece: yellowhammernews.com/alabama… #Alabama #AARP

Let's be clear: the Social Security COLA helps, but it never seems enough to keep up with ever-rising costs.

Could you survive on your own for several days in the event of a disaster? After a disaster, you may not have access to a medical facility or even a drugstore. It’s crucial to plan for your daily needs and know what you would do if they become limited or unavailable.
