WASHINGTON—The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) have launched a Spanish-language version of Money Smart for Older Adults.
The free financial resource tool is designed to help aid older adults (age 62 and older) and their caregivers prevent, identify and respond to elder financial exploitation, which affects millions of senior citizens each year, with only a fraction of incidents reported, the two agencies said.
The materials can be found at https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/moneysmart/olderadult.html. Hard copies of the participant/resource guide can be ordered through the CFPB website http://promotions.usa.gov/cfpbpubs.html.
