A Note from AARP Delaware State Director Lucretia Young on the Future of Social Security

The new Social Security and Medicare Trustees Report that was just released tells us what we already know: Congress must act to protect and strengthen Social Security.

Social Security is a lifeline for 241,000 people in Delaware. It is earned through a lifetime of hard work. It’s not a bonus or a handout.

More Ways to Benefit

For many Delawareans, Social Security is an essential part of their plan for financial security in retirement. These payments help cover basic needs like housing, groceries, utilities, and health care. In fact, a recent AARP survey found that 65% of Americans 50+ say that if Social Security was eliminated, they couldn't go six months without borrowing or selling something.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this impacts people in our state, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
