What Women Say About Retirement
With years of earning less and taking time off for caregiving, women enter retirement at a major disadvantage. Read the results of NCOA's research that finds half of U.S. women ages 25+ are struggling financially today, and 90% or more support bipartisan policy solutions to help.
Will You Help Older Adults like Flora?
At 74, Flora’s Social Security check no longer covered her needs, making it hard to afford nutritious food after rent and bills. With support from NCOA, she enrolled in SNAP, helping her eat well and balance her budget. Your gift can help millions more age well.
