Our Key Vote Summary shows how members of Congress voted on AARP's top issues in the 111th Congress. As there are more "key votes," AARP will update the summary. Stay tuned!
AARP believes the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide some relief for struggling Americans, and there is more that can be done to help older Americans to jump-start our ailing economy.
The Social Security Administration recently announced that, as a result of the weak economy, there will be no Social Security Cost-Of-Living Adjustment (COLA) in 2010. So, instead of seeing an increase in their check next year, seniors' benefits will be frozen. Since this announcement, AARP has heard from thousands of AARP members who were counting on their yearly increase to help pay for food, utilities and health care. AARP is working with members of Congress from both parties to find a solution to this problem that will bring seniors some financial relief and put money directly in their pockets.
AARP members can tell their members of Congress to act now to ensure seniors get the relief they deserve.
With "Government Watch," AARP is giving its 40 million members an eye on how Congress votes on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The legislation is a key vote for AARP, because, the organization says, the bill offers real relief to older Americans and jump-starts our economy. AARP members can see how their Senators and Representatives voted and share their feedback on this important legislation.
