What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill renews funding through 2030 for programs under the Older Americans Act, which provides services and activities for people aged 60 and older. These programs include things like a national service to help find elder care, home-delivered meal programs sometimes called meals on wheels, support for tribal organizations serving older people, and efforts to prevent elder abuse and neglect. The bill also allows states to use certain funds for carryout meals at meal sites, lets the government create a national center to help train and grow the workforce that directly cares for older people, and sets up advisory groups — including one focused on older Native Americans and a White House Conference on Aging — to recommend improvements to federal programs for seniors.
