National Senior Independence Month, celebrated this February, is a great time to learn about resources that can help Floridians lead safer and independent lives as they age. These free, online financial literacy resources were created for seniors, their families and caregivers:
 |
On Guard for Seniors provides comprehensive information on financial topics for seniors ranging from annuities and reverse mortgages to identity theft. On Guard also includes a Consumer Alert section to notify seniors of financial scams occurring in Florida. |
 |
Operation S.A.F.E. (Stop Adult Financial Exploitation) is an initiative created to help inform, empower and protect Florida’s seniors from financial scams and frauds. As part of Operation S.A.F.E., the Department of Financial Services presents Be Scam Smart workshops all across Florida. These free workshops educate seniors on how to spot fraudulent behavior and protect themselves from common scams that target seniors. Register to attend an upcoming workshop or request a workshop to be held in your senior community! |
