Issue Update: Curbing Rising Debt for Older Adults

As part of our Call to Action to curb rising debt for older adults, we’re excited to share our recent video detailing RRF’s interest in addressing debt and its impact on older people. 

All of us want economic security as we age, and reducing debt is a critical piece of ensuring that. Certain kinds of debt, like student loans and medical debt, held by millions of older adults strains their ability to live well and securely.

RRF is working with grantee partners to raise awareness about these issues. We’ve also created educational materials and submitted public comments supporting policy changes. 

We will continue to explore opportunities to expand this work and encourage all who are interested to reach out and join us.
