Betty has likely joined AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), which advocates for the interests of seniors, including Social Security benefits and affordable healthcare. COLA (Cost Of Living Adjustment) is not an organization, but rather a term used to refer to adjustments made to Social Security benefits based on changes in the cost of living. AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) is a labor union advocacy group, and NRLC (National Right to Life Committee) is a pro-life advocacy group, neither of which would be specifically focused on the interests of elderly individuals seeking better Social Security benefits.
