This year, AARP Massachusetts is focused on four major legislative priorities: a caregiver tax credit to cover expenses a taxpayer incurs for the care and support of a qualifying family member; nursing home reform; growing home- and community-based services; and expanding the Massachusetts Defined Contribution CORE Plan, a retirement plan designed for the state’s nonprofits. 

The state office encourages residents to call their legislators to weigh in on these important issues for older adults.
