AARP South Dakota

News and events for the 50+ and their families in the Rushmore State
When Brenda Lanphere and Beth Smith met five years ago, the two Aberdeen residents were already active AARP volunteers. But the women knew they could achieve even more together and quickly got to work.
AARP South Dakota works to help individuals 50-plus make sure their money lives as long as they do. That is why we fight for measures to help provide financial security, such as Senate Bill 28, which passed during the 2024 Legislative Session.
We have all the information you need to know about our advocacy efforts and how you can get involved.
Welcome to the media hub for AARP South Dakota.
AARP South Dakota needs volunteers to engage with lawmakers on issues important to older adults.
AARP is here to help you take on today – and every day. From sharing practical resources, to holding fun activities and events, AARP is providing opportunities to connect and help build an even stronger South Dakota for all ages to live, work and play. We hope you’ll join us!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Next Tuesday morning, we will be sending out an action alert allowing you to thank South Dakota legislators for passing bills designed to improve long-term care services and supports in the state. With our other action alerts, we have asked legislators for a specific vote on a bill, so this will be a great opportunity to express appreciation for their service and for taking actions to help improve options for South Dakotans as they age.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before we get to our update on what happened in Pierre, this week, we want you to be watching for another email coming from us soon on the House State Affairs Committee Hearing on SJR501. As a reminder, this is the resolution that would place a measure on the November ballot related to work reporting requirements for some individuals eligible under Medicaid expansion. When you see that action alert email, please take a moment to send a message to committee members urging them to respect the will of the voters who passed Medicaid expansion and vote NO on SJR 501.
As the President’s Day holiday approaches, the action in the legislature will be fast and furious for the next few weeks!
