<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The FCC will hold a webinar on Monday, May 22 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EDT in honor of Older Americans Month. The webinar will provide older Americans and their family and
friends with information and tips about benefitting from our rules requiring disability access to communications, including rules that require hearing aid compatibility, telecommunications relay services, emergency access, and closed captioning. The webinar
will also provide information on the value of broadband connectivity (e.g., staying engaged, and using telehealth), dealing with robocalls, and reporting suspicious calls to the FCC’s Consumer Complaint Center.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
