Bill Sweeney

“For many people, Social Security is the only inflation-protected income they have in retirement." AARP's @BillSweeneyDC on today's announcement of the 2026 COLA projections. spr.ly/6014fo5lO

These are some of the older Americans who will be hurt if this budget bill cuts food benefits. AARP is telling Congress: don’t cut Medicaid or food assistance #SNAP #Foodinsecurity aarp.org/politics-socie…

This is tremendously sad. Gerry Connolly was just a genuinely nice man, and a pleasure to cover. He will be missed.

Walking and talking with @BillSweeneyDC on his way to bringing AARP members’ concerns about #SocialSecurity straight to #Congress. 📢📢Here's the latest on how AARP is taking action to protect the money Americans have worked hard throughout their lives to earn⬇️

WATCH: @realDonaldTrump supports a tax credit for caregivers who take care of a parent or loved one. Now it’s up to Congress to act. Working families can’t afford to wait – let’s get this done!

#BreakingNews - The 2025 COLA is 2.5%. More to come shortly…

ICYMI: @SocialSecurity recently added 9 severe medical conditions to our list of Compassionate Allowances. Learn how we can make faster disability decisions through the CAL program: ow.ly/trLw50T2eqV

AARP urges Congress to extend tax credit for employers who provide paid family leave - thanks to @SenatorFischer @SenAngusKing @RepFeenstra @RepCaraveoMD @RepBice @RepMGP for leading this important fight! aarp.org/politics-socie…

It was heartbreaking to hear David's story -- this is why AARP is fighting so hard to ensure every nursing home in America has enough staff on hand to take care of the folks living in those facilities. Our tax dollars should get what we're paying for!

Turning this Black Friday into Unsubscribe Friday. Good grief.

Thanks to @SenJackyRosen and @lisamurkowski for leading this important, bipartisan bill to increase access to palliative care. Nobody should be forced to endure pain when we can relieve their suffering. blog.aarp.org/fighting-for-y…

Phenomenal reporting from NYT and KFF on the challenges of children trying to take care of their parents. Our country has to do more to support family caregivers. 'I Wish I Had Known That No One Was Going to Help Me' nytimes.com/2023/11/14/hea…

This is such a devastating story and should be frankly terrifying for all of us. This is why we work so hard to reform the guardianship systems in this country to protect older adults and their families. washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11…

If you’re getting financial advice, you should be able to trust that your adviser is giving you the best advice for YOU not for THEM. The new Retirement Savings Rule couldn’t be more straightforward. Let’s get it done! m.youtube.com/watch?v=35Nq9Y…

Little Rock psychiatrist Dr. Peter Jensen founded @reach4kids to ensure children have access to mental health services. We’re proud to celebrate his work and recognition by @AARP as #PurposePrize recipient. Congratulations!

The Maui wildfire was an unprecedented tragedy, and kupuna were disproportionately impacted. That's why I'm encouraged to see disaster relief in the just-released White House supplemental funding request. cnn.com/white-house-do…

Thank you to @AmbassadorRice for joining me at today’s @AARP Global Conference to discuss how population aging will shape the world’s geopolitical landscape – and how we can motivate countries and leading stakeholders to take concrete steps now to plan for #globalaging.

We're excited to see support for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) in the White House supplemental funding request. $6 billion can help keep tens of millions of households connected to work, school, and the doctor—as well as to friends and family—for another year.

Robocalls are rampant these days, especially as artificial intelligence has made it easier for the bad guys to create deep fakes. Yet, the FCC has proposed to address the issues by using AI “for good.” Learn more about the agency’s fight against fraud. spr.ly/6013uenlt
