This bill extends federal funding authorizations for various programs under the Older Americans Act of 1965 through fiscal year 2028, replacing the current authorization that expires after fiscal year 2024. The legislation affects senior citizens and the agencies that administer aging services, including programs for nutrition, transportation, caregiver support, disease prevention, and other supportive services for older adults. The bill modifies seven different sections of the Older Americans Act to allow funding to continue across multiple fiscal years rather than requiring annual reauthorization. However, the bill text does not specify actual dollar amounts for the appropriations, so the specific funding levels would be determined through the regular appropriations process. The bill was introduced in October 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
