Hi Illinois friends! This is Gerardo, from the AARP Illinois Communications Team....

Hello, readers. This is Gerardo with AARP Illinois' Communications team.

Hey all, Jenn here from the AARP Illinois Communications team. In this post I wanted to tell you about some of the legislative work that AARP staffer  Ryan Gruenenfelder has been doing down in Springfield.   I spoke with Ryan yesterday about House Bill 1689 - a bill  that goes into effect in Illinois this month which addresses an issue that he's been working on for about 3  years - cracking  down on those sad,  sad souls who try to steal Social Security checks and any other sort of money  from the elderly and disabled.
