Kingston Meeting Room

Money Smart for Older Adults is designed to provide you with information and tips to help prevent common frauds, scams and other types of elder financial exploitation in your community.

These financial literacy sessions will take place the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at Kingston Branch and the 2nd and 4th

Programming Sessions:

November 20: Planning for Unexpected Life Events
The session focuses on preparation for unexpected health crises, diminished capacity, and natural disasters. Planning ahead provides clear benefits.

December 4: Identity Theft and Medical Identity Theft
The session educates older adults, family members, and caregivers on how personal data is stolen, how unauthorized charges or medical claims accumulate, and how to prevent and respond to these crimes.

December 18: Common Types of Elder Financial Exploitation
In this session, we will learn why financial exploitation is a type of elder abuse. Elder abuse can take many forms, alone or in combination, including physical, psychological, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, and self-neglect.

This curriculum was developed jointly by the FDIC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the sessions are facilitated by the Central State University Extension.
