New analysis from @NCOAging and @LTSSCenter finds that 27 million older adult households cannot afford basic necessities. 😮 Despite some income growth, financial assets and wealth are declining. Read the full report: https://t.co/v4TCTsvmtW

Proud to be part of @NCOAging's team.

💖We’re sending lots of #GovLove to each and every member of @NCOAging's team! Thanks for all you do!

No developer builds something that "low-wealth" people can afford in Bethesda. The guy should have known at least that. But it's amazing to see opposition to people at lower income/asset levels.

So I smiled and said, "yes, like me!" He mumbled something and went away.

The @NCOAging is teaming up with community-based organizations across the U.S. to make sure seniors are staying up to date with vaccines. @VictoriaSanchez

SO excited to be at @ShenandoahU for the regional capital region conference of @RESULTS_Tweets, Building A Future Without Poverty.

[Simona Combi @combione]

Deeply saddened to hear about @WSpriggs passing. I learned about his work (and so much more) on racial inequities when I was at @PolicySolutions. Great appreciation by @bencasselman https://t.co/L7xHdAXtjz

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

Thanks @CNN & @jaketapper for reporting on the lack of support for people caring for older loved ones.

The harsh truth: 80% of households w/older adults—or 47 mil—are financially struggling today or are at risk of falling into economic insecurity as they age. We must do better.

3/ Care workers, too, deserve higher pay, transparency & protection from discrimination. These are mostly women and particularly women of color. We can’t take them for granted. Today’s history EO puts us on track to make sure the economy works for ALL caregivers, esp women.

[Ramsey Alwin 🦞 @Ramsey_Alwin]

2/ Home- and community-based services through Medicaid will be a huge support to low-income older adults and their families. #CareCantWait

[Ramsey Alwin 🦞 @Ramsey_Alwin]

1/ So excited to witness this moment @WhiteHouse when we start helping our caregivers, both paid and unpaid. #CareCantWait

Each year, $30 billion in public and private #BenefitsPrograms goes unclaimed.

Learn why so many #OlderAdults are missing out on the help they need to #AgeWell—and what we can do to change this in this article from NCOA's Brandy Bauer.👇

Many #OlderAdults and #Caregivers worry about the state taking their home if they receive Medicaid—a process called estate recovery. #Medicaid can seek repayment of some costs after a recipient dies. Learn how you can get help if you might be affected.

You know, every time I hear someone suggest raising the Social Security retirement age, I think: there’s someone who didn’t work construction all their life. Who didn’t carry little kids around as a preschool teacher. Who didn’t help patients in and out of beds as a nurse.

📣 (2/2): #OlderAdults face the dire consequences of #Ageism every day when they’re rejected for jobs and their needs go unmet. We call on all Americans to reject this last acceptable form of discrimination.

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

📣 (1/2): NCOA is deeply disappointed by the #Ageist suggestion that leaders over 75 should be tested for mental acuity. It proves how deeply entrenched #Ageism is in our society.

[CLASP @CLASP_DC]

The #ChildTaxCredit and the #EarnedIncomeTaxCredit effectively lift workers and families out of poverty. Congress temporarily expanded both credits in 2021, and we agree with @POTUS that lawmakers should permanently expand them in the years ahead. #SOTU2023

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

#SOTU To finish the job, we should recognize that aging well should be a right, not a privilege. Everyone deserves to age well regardless of gender, color, income, sexuality or ZIP code. https://t.co/lIqfxmHvev

[Felicia Wong @FeliciaWongRI]

Wow. Anti-trust in the #SOTU and "capitalism without rules is extortion." Times, they are a-changin'...

[Marci Phillips @mjpncoa]

#SOTU ARPA-H has the potential to do so much for older adults who struggle with chronic disease.
