Question 1 of 7

A bill that passed the House of Representatives could make it harder for some U.S. citizens 50 and older to vote. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, would require Americans to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Which of the following would typically satisfy proof of citizenship for voter registration under the SAVE America Act?

Only a few documents, such as a U.S. passport or a birth certificate along with a valid form of photo ID, will satisfy the proposed requirements. “As Congress considers changes to voting procedures, we urge caution on their implementation and how they will impact the ability of older Americans to vote in primaries and the general election,” wrote Bill Sweeney, AARP’s senior vice president of government affairs.​

Question 2 of 7

In a new national AARP Research survey of workers age 50 and older, what share reported seeing or experiencing age discrimination at work?

In addition to the 22 percent of respondents who felt they were being pushed out of work, about two‑thirds (64 percent) reported seeing or experiencing age discrimination in the workplace.

Question 3 of 7

After you e‑file your federal tax return, when do most refunds arrive (barring delays)?

If you submit your tax return electronically, you can expect to receive the funds within 21 days of filing your return, the IRS says.

Question 4 of 7

How many wire-bristle grill brushes were recently recalled due to an ingestion hazard?​

Weber is recalling more than 3.2 million metal wire-bristle grill brushes after reports that bristles can break off during use, stick to grill grates or food and be swallowed, posing a risk of serious internal injury.

Question 5 of 7

Everyone has a natural preference for when they want to sleep or be awake, known as chronotype. What most strongly predicts whether you’re a night owl or an early bird?

Genetics is the strongest predictor, but doctors say age can lead to a shift in chronotype. In adolescence, people often become night owls but begin going to sleep and waking up earlier as they get older. 

Question 6 of 7

Facing a layoff and worried about losing health insurance? Employer coverage often lasts until when?

Ask your benefits department how long employer-sponsored medical insurance would last after a layoff. Coverage varies by employer, but it often runs to the end of the month.​

Question 7 of 7

If a storm damages your house and your insurer lowballs the claim, what’s the recommended first step?

Read through your homeowners policy. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. Problems caused by named storms, hurricanes, wind and hail may be excluded or modified with a higher or separate deductible.​
