Town of Gilbert Volunteer Open House June 17, 2025
Aster Aging, a valued town of Gilbert partner, is seeking volunteers for its Neighbors program, which provides essential transportation support for local seniors. Due to the recent dissolution of a nonprofit that previously offered this service, we are actively assisting in volunteer recruitment to ensure seniors continue receiving the help they need.
Aster Aging is expanding their program to Gilbert, but their success depends on dedicated volunteers. If you are interested in making a meaningful impact in the lives of seniors, we encourage you to get involved!
To learn more, please join us on Tuesday, June 17th at 8:00 am at the Southeast Regional Library. Interested, but not able to make that date? There is also an open house being held in Chandler on June 4th at 11:30am. Both informational sessions will be the same and you can volunteer in the community that works for you!

In a significant move towards modernization, the Social Security Administration has confirmed a substantial change in its payment methods set to take effect on September 30, 2025. This change involves transitioning from issuing paper checks to adopting electronic payments. Starting September 30, paper checks will no longer be used for disbursements, including government benefits, supplier payments, and tax refunds.
All executive departments and agencies are required to transition to modern electronic funds transfer (EFT) methods, such as direct deposit, debit or credit card payments, digital wallets, and real-time transfers. This substantial change will impact approximately 456,000 Americans receiving their Social Security payments via paper checks. These individuals represent about 0.7% of the total 68.2 million Social Security beneficiaries across the United States.

Follow these 3 tips to protect yourself from Medicare fraud and scams:
If you get a call, text or email asking for your Medicare Number, don't respond. Don't give your Medicare card or Medicare Number to anyone except your doctor or people you know should have it.
Check your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs) or claims statements carefully. If you see a charge for a service you didn't get or a product you didn't order, it may be fraud. If you suspect fraud, report it at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or Reporting Medicare fraud & abuse | Medicare.
Guard your Medicare card like it's a credit card.
