Ruthie and Connie LGBTQI Elder Americans Act of 2025

This bill updates federal programs that help older Americans so they better serve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals and people living with HIV. It adds LGBTQI status and HIV status to the list of factors used to identify older people with the greatest social need, and it creates a new Office of LGBTQI Inclusion within the Administration on Aging to help these individuals access services. The bill also sets up a national resource center focused on LGBTQI aging to provide information and support to organizations that serve older people. Finally, it requires studies and data collection on discrimination against LGBTQI older individuals in long-term care settings and on the services they need.
