Arizona Senior Resources

For decades, Arizona has been a top destination for millions of America’s retirees, and as that number increases year after year, the challenges they face are becoming more prevalent. As a member of the Seniors Task Force, I am working with my colleagues to address these issues. I am focused on protecting and strengthening Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and ensuring seniors have access to safe, affordable housing. We have made a promise to America’s seniors, and it is our responsibility to uphold it by improving these programs and making them solvent for generations to come.

My staff in Northwest Tucson, Casa Grande, and Flagstaff have helped Arizona seniors from across the First Congressional District receive backpay from the Social Security Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They’ve also assisted in clearing up issues with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of my offices if you need assistance with any of these federal issues. My staff also regularly holds mobile office hours in rural communities throughout the district to bring the services directly to you.
