Almost 1 in 10 Essex County, NY residents receive SNAP benefits says #FRAC. The harmful SNAP provisions in HR one will deepen America’s hunger by taking food away from people who need it the most including older adults, kids, & vet. #StopThatSNAPShift Day default.salsalabs.org/Tf688be80-8e...

Insurance premiums could rise by $1,291 annually on average for those on individual market health plans in New York State. Until July 2nd consumers can tell the State how more expensive premiums would impact them or people they know. Submit a comment here: hcfany.org/tell-new-yor....

Fight fraud! Shred your important documents then contact your state legislators about cracking down on another type of fraud.

📢it is unacceptable that thousands of older Americans are left waiting 2+ hours on the phone to reach Social Security (SSA) and SSA’s website crashed 5 times alone just in March. #AARPNY members urge Congress to act to ensure good costumer service. states.aarp.org/new-york/aar... #IEarnedIt

NYS Legislature must increase funding for in-home services for older NYers - 1000s stuck on waitlists - & boost elder financial fraud protections supported by 88% of NYers age 45+, #AARPNY's Maggie Castro said at #SOMOS New York Conference. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social

Last Week, #AARPNY's Bruce A Boissonnault joined others in thanking State Senator Sean Ryan for proposing a common-sense affordable housing package. When more affordable housing options are created, it keeps older persons living in the community and out of expensive taxpayer-funded nursing homes.

Today #AARPNY thanked @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social for including an additional $45 million in her budget proposal for home- and community-based services that enable older New Yorkers to remain in their own homes & communities. Thousands are stuck on waiting lists for these in-home services.

This 12 year old posted showed up in my Facebook memories. It is a sober reminder of how long these vital services for older New Yorkers have been underfunded and how important that fight for ending waiting lists for aging services must continue Call Governor Hochul to @day at 866-647-1217
