#SocialSecurity pumps $79B/year into NY’s economy—earned by workers and now fueling families, businesses, and communities. It’s not a giveaway—it’s a return on a lifetime of contributions. Petition: action.aarp.org/secure/pledg… #WeEarnedIt

📢Thousands of older Americans left waiting – 2 hr & 56 min wait to reach Social Security is unacceptable. 5 SSA website crashes last month alone. #AARPNY Long Island members urge Congress to act, ensuring efficient, top-notch customer service. #IEarnedIt states.aarp.org/new-york/aar…

End the waitlists for aging services! @AARPNY volunteers delivered thousands of messages to Speaker Heastie urging him, @AndreaSCousins and @GovKathyHochul to ensure in the #NYSbudget that older NYers can get the services they need to remain in their own homes and communities.

The SSA plans to cut phone services, making it harder for many—especially in rural areas or with mobility challenges—to access their earned money. Tell Congress to stop these cuts! ✊ action.aarp.org/secure/tell-… #ProtectSocialSecurity 💵
