Senior Citizens

Seniors are a vital part of the Second District’s community, and my office strives to make your interactions with the federal government as simple as possible. To that end, I have collected several resources that you may find helpful. As always, please feel free to contact my district office for any additional assistance.

Social Security and Medicare

Social Security and Medicare are two of the most important programs administered by the federal government. I am committed to upholding the promise of a healthy, comfortable retirement for all seniors.
