The FINANCE Act amends the Older Americans Act to establish a federal grant program providing financial planning services specifically tailored to family caregivers. Eligible organizations including state and local agencies, nonprofits, area agencies on aging, senior centers, colleges, and tribal organizations can receive grants to deliver these services to unpaid caregivers of older adults and individuals with Alzheimer's disease or disabilities. The financial planning services must cover topics such as public benefits, care options, budgeting, long-term care costs, debt management, and estate planning, and must be provided in accessible formats including multiple languages and assistive technology for people with disabilities. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines but authorizes the Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services to administer the grant program and set application requirements.
