World Elder Abuse Awareness Day reminds us that protecting older adults is everyone's responsibility.

Financial exploitation is one of the most common forms of elder abuse and can have lasting impacts on an individual's financial security and well-being.

Take time to:
• Talk with older family members about scams and fraud
• Review financial and insurance documents together
• Encourage them to verify requests before sharing personal information
• Report suspicious activity

The Connecticut Insurance Department is committed to protecting consumers and helping residents make informed insurance decisions.
