Presented by Wiggin and Dana LLP.*
For LGBT older adults, the strength and resilience gained through confronting a lifetime of discrimination and the horrors of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are necessary tools for the next stage of life. The Stonewall generation often faces more significant challenges than their non-LGBT counterparts in accessing the systems and services designed to help support healthy aging. In this session, you will learn about some of these unique challenges experienced by LGBT seniors; the barriers to and tools for accessing Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Veteran’s Benefits and other aging supports; and legislative efforts to protect and target resources at the needs of LGBT and HIV-affected seniors.
