On Wednesday, AARP released a report that shows an estimated 127,193 of Ohioans on Medicare prescription drug plans will see savings thanks to a new out-of-pocket cap that starts Jan. 1, 2025.

Ohio’s 696,981 U.S. veterans and active-duty service members face the threat of falling victim to scammers seeking to exploit them. Nearly two-thirds of veterans are unaware that they can receive free assistance with Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act – or PACT Act – benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), according to a new AARP survey.

AARP Ohio is hosting a live telephone townhall with Ohio Department of Aging Director Ursel J. McElroy Thursday, April 20 at 11 a.m. EST. The discussion is an opportunity for Ohioans to share their personal stories, ideas for improvements and learn more about the new Ohio Governor’s Nursing Home Quality and Accountability Task Force, chaired by McElroy.
