May is Older Americans Month
Published: May 6, 2021
During the month of May, and through June 15, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will spotlight tools and resources that can help older adults achieve and maintain financial well-being. We'll be sharing some of their resources, as well as some of our own, in hopes that the information will help keep our older adult members and their families safe from financial abuse.
Explore some of the CFPB's resources for older adults below. To learn more about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, visit their website at consumerfinance.gov.
- Financial caregiving – resources for those who help an older relative or friend manage their money.
