Senior Citizens' Resource Center
Welcome to my Senior Citizens’ Resource Center. I am working with my colleagues in Congress to advocate for older Americans in Southern Arizona and across the country. I’m proud to support polices that improve the well-being of seniors. As a member of the Congressional Task Force on Seniors, I support the Seniors Bill of Rights to ensure seniors have access to financial security; quality affordable healthcare; protection from abuse, scams and exploitation; a strong economy; and safe livable communities.
A recent analysis of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Part D shows that there may be significant changes for seniors in 2013. Seniors will benefit by shopping around to find the plan that works best for them.
The following resources are available to senior citizens. If you need help with a federal agency you can contact Congressman Barber's constituent services team here. Please contact our office for assistance with any questions or problems you may have. You can also reach our Tucson office at 520-881-3588 or Sierra Vista office at (520) 459-3115. Congressman Barber's office often helps constituents with determining Social Security benefits, as well as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicare eligibility.
