AARP Eye Center
Join AARP’s final Money Matters event of 2025 to learn how to maximize your Social Security benefits. How can you raise the odds of a secure retirement?
Update as of October 16, 2025
Unfortunately, due to the government shutdown and lapse in appropriation, the Social Security Administration is unable to do community presentations. Therefore, AARP Michigan's speaker for tomorrow's event cannot participate, so we are postponing the event (originally scheduled for October 17, 2025). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are tentatively rescheduling this event for Friday, November 21, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. ET, assuming the government shutdown has ended. We will continue to be in communication with you regarding the event as this date approaches.
