US Special Committee on Aging

The United States Senate's Special Committee on Aging, currently chaired by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), was established in 1961 as a temporary committee. It was granted permanent status in February, 1977. While special committees have no legislative authority, they can study issues, conduct oversight of programs, and investigate reports of fraud and waste. Note: Senior victims of fraud can report it to the Fraud Hotline.

The Special Committee on Aging has served as a focal point in the Senate for discussion and debate on matters relating to older Americans, and often submits its findings and recommendations for legislation to the Senate. The Committee additionally publishes materials of assistance to those interested in public policies which relate to the elderly.

For more information, visit the Committee's press releases page. It is a gold mine of legislative issue and hearing information, and resource links, plus: you can sign up for e-News; order publications; view the latest list of issues and press releases; get prescription assistance ... and more!

Information for SHINE - Fuel Assistance - SNAP Programs

Learn about resources that are available to you locally. COA Outreach Coordinator Audrey Allen can help you learn about available local resources and current happenings in our community.

SNAP (Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program) can be used to supplement your food budget costs. Money saved through SNAP could be used toward your medical costs. SNAP is income-based, but it is your income after shelter and medical expenses are deducted.

Home heating and energy assistance (a.k.a. Fuel Assistance) season runs from November 1st through April 30th and is available for eligible homeowners and renters, including households whose cost of heat is included in the rent (12 month assistance in that case). It pays directly to your primary heating source vendor, and automatically includes electric and telephone bill discounts if you are eligible, saving you money to use for medical or other expenses.

The SHINE Program (Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone) provides free health insurance information, counseling and assistance to all Massachusetts residents with Medicare.

Newbury - David "Peeps" Carter Webb, a devoted family man, renowned architectural preservationist, and passionate environmentalist, passed away peacefully on December 4, 2024, at the age of 73. A lifelong resident of Newbury, Massachusetts, David dedicated his life to preserving both the architectural beauty and the natural heritage of his community. His commitment to sustainability was reflected in every aspect of his life, from his work to his personal values. David led by example with his small carbon footprint, championing eco-friendly practices in his everyday life and in the historic buildings he worked so tirelessly to preserve. Born in Boston in 1951, David was raised in the coastal town of Newbury, where he developed a deep connection to the natural world around him. He found particular solace in the salt marshes, where he spent countless hours observing the rhythms of the tides and the changing seasons from his home. This love for the environment extended beyond his personal life and into his professional work, where he sought to blend preservation with sustainable practices, ensuring that New England's architectural treasures were preserved with respect for the land and future generations. David's environmental consciousness was also reflected in his everyday choices: from growing his own food and working in his garden to using sustainable materials in his woodworking. He was a man who believed in the importance of living harmoniously with the natural world, and his impact as an environmental steward is as lasting as his legacy in architectural preservation. David is survived by his children Jessica (Michael) and Justin (Liana), his cherished grandchildren Madalyn, Anna, Luci, and Oliver, and his wife Pam MacDonald. He was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Arlene Webb, and his sister Susan. He will be deeply missed by his extended family, friends, and the many people whose lives he touched through his work, kindness, and example. A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Trustees of Reservations, a cause that David held close to his heart. David's legacy lives on in the buildings he preserved, the natural world he nurtured, and the love he shared with his family. He will always be remembered for his dedication, warmth, wicked sense of humor, and the quiet strength he brought to all that he did.

She attended Immaculate Conception School and was a graduate of Newburyport High School, Class of '51. Anne and Ron married and brought up their family in Newburyport. Raising her girls was her greatest accomplishment. She was a fun Mom, whether she was making up stories to entertain her daughters especially on a roadtrip, dressing up in elaborate costumes to dispense Halloween candy, or bearing everyone at cards. Nothing made her happier than when her circle expanded with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Anne started working at W. E. Atkinson Company while still in high school. She also worked at the First & Ocean National Bank, Western Electric, and New England Telephone, from which she retired in 1988 after decades of service. Retirement allowed her to focus on lifelong loves: spending time with her family and friends, reading, and volunteering at Sarah's Place. Sunday dinners with her Mom was a lifelong practice. She adored having those she loved around the table, to talk, have tea, play cards, dice or board games, or to serve you something to eat. Anne loved to feed people. To her, there was no better way to show you cared for someone than to cook for them; food was love, and she loved to share it. Anne's ability to talk on the phone was legendary. She loved to listen and was always the happy recipient of a phone call and would stay on as long as you wanted or needed. A phone call was always second to her hugs; she gave and received the best hugs in the world. Anne's Funeral Mass is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at Immaculate Conception Church, Green Street in Newburyport. Burial will follow at St. Mary's Cemetery.

Seabrook - Virginia "Ginny" Louise (Bragg) Small, 92, a lifelong resident of Seabrook, New Hampshire, passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. She was born on June 28, 1932, in Newburyport, Massachusetts, the daughter of the late Judge Ralph O. Bragg and Elizabeth H (Wilmot) and is predeceased by her husband of 25 years, Donald N. Small, in 1974. Ginny attended the Sanborn School, Dearborn Academy and Amesbury High School earning her GED in 1990. While in high school, she was a majorette as well as a waitress at the Ye Cocke and Kettle Restaurant where she many times earned more money in tips than her father earned as a judge! She later served as the Town Clerk of Seabrook for over 34 years preceding her parents who had also held the position. While registering vehicles, obtaining marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, the residents of Seabrook could always count on a warm smile, a laugh and a listening ear whether it be at her home where she held the original work from home office, the fire barn and lastly the Seabrook Town Hall where the town clerk's office resided during her tenure. Throughout her career as Town Clerk, Ginny was also a Justice of the Peace (JP). During her time as a JP, she officiated upwards of 1,000 marriages from the 1960's to the early 2000's, the majority of whom were married in her home. Ginny was actively involved in her community throughout her life. She was a member of the Trinity United Church where she served as a Sunday School Teacher, Treasurer, Trustee, Deacon and on the Women's Fellowship. She served on the committee for the construction of the Trinity United parish house and parsonage on Folly Mill Road and co-chaired the annual harvest supper up until 2020 where she was well known for her Indian Pudding; a recipe passed down from her mother. In recent years, she attended the Four Corners Church where her son Bruce is the Pastor, she was a member of the Seabrook Historical Society where her son Eric is the President, the Lions Club, the Seabrook PTO, the American Legion Auxiliary and the Happy Seniors. Ginny loved many things throughout her life including her many friends, gardening, cooking, baking, crocheting, braiding rugs, but most of all, she loved to dance! Her love of dancing started at the OUAM Hall, a ballroom dance hall next door to her childhood home on Lafayette Road. This eventually evolved into line dancing which she participated in up until the pandemic of 2020. Of all the things Ginny loved, her family was the love of her life! She is survived by her four children, Eric Small, Bruce Small, Aaron Small and his wife, Doriann, and Jennifer and her husband, Peter Talas, Jr.; six grandchildren, Shane, Courtney, Jacob, Lucas, Cole and Sean; three great grandsons, Logan, William and Sebastian as well as a great granddaughter who is expected to arrive in March. She also leaves behind her two kitties, Jack and Puddin'.
