The Administration on Aging (AoA) has been involved in pension issues since the 1992 amendments to the Older Americans Act. Recognizing that adequate pensions are a key factor in helping older persons maintain financial security and independence, Congress called for the AoA to establish a demonstration program to assist older Americans in accessing information about their retirement benefits and claiming employer-sponsored benefits, where appropriate. The AoA pension information and counseling projects provide free pension and retirement savings plan counseling and assistance, to older individuals. |
