Gottheimer Unveils Three-Part Senior Security Strategy

Strategy Cuts Taxes, Stops Scams, Protects Social Security & Medicare

SADDLE RIVER, N.J. — Today, Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) unveiled his Three-Part Senior Security Strategy, which will help cut taxes for seniors, protect Medicare and Social Security from federal garnishing, and stop financial predators from scamming seniors out of their hard-earned dollars.

At Brighton Gardens senior living, Gottheimer brought up speakers who discussed active scams that target New Jersey seniors. Bergenfield’s Linda Williams discussed her experience as a victim of identity theft and shared that, if receiving a call asking for money, “when in doubt, shout.” AARP’s Cristina Anastasio shared resources available at AARP to combat senior scams. Saddle River Police Department’s Detective Ed Riedel discussed how local police can help seniors combat scams.
