Watch the Livestream: Securing Social Security's Future

Posted on 10/02/24 by Mary Michaels

Americans work hard and pay into Social Security. If Washington doesn't take action, in ten years it could be cut by 20%. It's time for both parties to come together and agree on a bipartisan solution.

AARP South Dakota, along with our colleagues from AARP Iowa and AARP Nebraska, recently held a bipartisan forum about the future of Social Security.

Watch the recording from the October 3 forum.


Speakers:

Max Richtman, President and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare
