The government-wide strategy seeks to protect the rights of and provide assistance for older Americans.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced the Federal Elder Justice Action Plan, under the Elder Justice Coordinating Council, this month. The department also launched the “Never EVER” national campaign to advance the goal of preventing Americans from being defrauded by imposters posing as government agents or business officials.
“President Trump and I are committed to ensuring every American can age with dignity, independence, and security,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Scammers steal an estimated $28 billion from older Americans each year.“
The health secretary continued, “Through the Federal Elder Justice Action Plan and the ‘Never EVER’ campaign, the Trump administration is protecting seniors, supporting victims, and holding criminals accountable. The message is simple: no government agency will ever tell you to move your money to ‘protect it’— that’s a scam.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Kennedy as he heads his department’s efforts to protect U.S. senior citizens from imposters seeking to scam them.
- For Elder Justice Council officials as they work to prevent the defrauding or abuse of the elderly.
- For families to look after aging relatives and help to safeguard them from scamming attempts.
