Seniors falling is personal for me. My family, like so many others, has experienced a loved one falling at an old age.
I want to make sure American seniors are safe and can live a full life without fear.

Happy Older New Yorkers' Day! As the ranking member of the Senate Aging Committee, I'm proud to lead the charge to bolster Social Security, strengthen Medicare, and make sure older New Yorkers have the tools they need to age in place.

Our seniors are going back to work – not because they want to, but because inflation and skyrocketing costs are crushing them.
This is unacceptable. We can’t ignore this.

We can't let scammers continue to prey upon seniors who want to invest their hard-earned savings.
That's why I'm fighting for bipartisan legislation to protect older investors and safeguard our seniors' savings.

Seniors shouldn’t have to "unretire" because Trump drove up the cost of living.

AI tools can offer real benefits for older Americans and people with disabilities, but we must make sure our seniors are protected from potential scams.

Scams hurting American seniors are often fueled by global fraud networks, like the Myanmar scam complex exposed by the NYT. My bipartisan bills, the National Strategy for Combating Scams Act and GUARD Act, would help crack down on these scams and strengthen enforcement to stop fraud.

Andy's decision to share his story is proof of his strength & dedication to the people he serves. His openness elevates the challenges of caring for a loved one & reminds us of our mission to support aging Americans.
My prayers are with Andy, his father, and his entire family.

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.
Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.
I hope you’ll join me.

Older Americans agree — it's time to end forced arbitration clauses that prevent age discrimination victims from seeking justice.
Let's pass my bipartisan Protecting Older Americans Act and make sure older workers get their day in court.

From multiple hour call wait times to useless robo-messages and hard to get office appointments, the consequences of the Trump administration's cuts to Social Security are real and devastating.
Listen to some beneficiaries’ stories:

That's right — if Congress doesn't extend enhanced ACA tax credits, small business owners may not have the money to sustain their business or even pay for their own health insurance.

Dr. Lambrew is right— Affordable Care Act tax credits work. They help millions of Americans get lifesaving health care, and we can’t afford to let them expire.
Johnson: What you said is going back to the original design of Obamacare is going to be a calamity?
Lambrew: Going back to 1965 practices for medicine would also be calamity. We figured out something that worked and it should be extended and people have been helped by it

Medicaid cuts aren't just unpopular—they're life-threatening.
A 2025 study found that Medicaid coverage reduces the risk of death by 21%. The Trump administration's $1 trillion in cuts will push Americans off the rolls and cost lives.

90 years ago, we made a promise to take care of seniors by establishing Social Security. But now, President Trump has turned this promise into a political bargaining chip.
Social Security helps almost 70 million Americans make ends meet. We must protect it.
