The DELIVER Act increases the tax deduction for volunteers who deliver meals to homebound elderly, disabled, frail, and at-risk individuals. Currently, meal delivery volunteers receive a reduced mileage reimbursement rate for tax purposes; this bill would allow them to claim the standard business mileage rate instead, which is typically higher. The legislation affects charitable organizations and individual volunteers who participate in meal delivery programs for vulnerable populations. The change takes effect immediately upon the bill's enactment, with no new federal funding required—it simply adjusts the existing tax code to provide better reimbursement for volunteer drivers. This modest measure aims to encourage more volunteer participation in programs that help homebound individuals access meals.
