World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Date:
Dear Colleague,
On June 15, 2023, we will join other federal agencies and stakeholder groups in commemorating World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD).
This year, we are focusing our efforts on helping prevent financial exploitation. Elder financial exploitation continues to be one of the most common forms of elder abuse in this country.
Please join us and the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) for a #WEAADWeek Twitter event. Each day, from June 12-16 at 10:00 a.m. PT, the @NCEAatUSC will tweet a question. Participants will have the duration of the day to respond. Use the official hashtag #WEAADWeek to join the conversation. Preview the daily questions here.
Please share this information with your clients to help spread awareness about financial exploitation and help stop elder abuse.
You and your clients can report Social Security-related scams, at oig.ssa.gov.
Thanks,
Dawn Bystry
Acting Associate Commissioner
