Catching Up with the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging

As Maryland reader Dennis Brezina (and legislative assistant to Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson) helpfully reminded me, with the new Congress there has been a changing of the leadership of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.  The new Chair and Ranking Member of the Committee are, respectively,  Senators Susan Collins, (R-Maine) and Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri).

This committee maintains a  “fraud hotline,” for reporting abuse, including financial exploitation, affecting vulnerable seniors.  The number is 1-855-303-9470.  For more on the Committee’s interest in this topic, reports from recent hearings are available on the Committee website. 

Thanks, Dennis!
