The Rights of Older Americans

The Older Americans Act and Services

I would like help in getting a job, since I feel able to continue working even though I have retired. Can I get help under the Older Americans Act?

Yes. Through the Community Service Employment for Older Americans program, you may be able to get help in finding a job or a training opportunity. These may be part-time positions, at minimum wage. In general, this program is designed for lower-income seniors, so income and resource eligibility requirements may apply.
