ALEXANDRIA, Va.—NCUA is hosting a Twitter chat May 13 that will provide CUs with insights into detecting and addressing financial abuse of the elderly.
The event, scheduled at 11 a.m. ET, is co-hosted by AARP. The chat is part of both organizations’ activities during Older Americans Month.
The chat will be moderated by Kenzie Snowden, NCUA social media and outreach specialist; Ken Worthey, NCUA financial literacy and outreach analyst; and Rosa Maymi and Jennifer Beam from AARP’s Fraud Watch Network.
During the chat, AARP will discuss the Fraud Watch Network, and NCUA will share resources from the MyCreditUnion.gov consumer information website and the agency’s “Scams Targeting Seniors” video. The moderators will ask participating credit unions to discuss their efforts to protect elderly members from financial abuse.
Credit unions and consumers are encouraged to follow the conversation and contribute using the #NCUAChat hashtag on Twitter. Participants can submit questions beforehand to socialmedia@ncua.gov.
