Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 898 is a symbolic resolution that recognizes November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month" to honor the approximately 63 million Americans who provide unpaid care to family members with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or aging-related needs. The resolution acknowledges that family caregivers contribute an estimated $600 billion in unpaid care annually and highlights the significant challenges they face, including financial hardship, physical exhaustion, and isolation, while noting that the caregiver population has grown by 10 million people over the past five years and is expected to continue increasing. The resolution does not contain any direct funding or impose new requirements, but instead encourages federal agencies, states, and the private sector to implement strategies from the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers and calls for policies such as tax credits, paid family leave, respite care, and improved access to healthcare and home-based services. This is a non-binding resolution intended to raise awareness and advocate for policy support for family caregivers of all ages, including grandparents raising grandchildren and young caregivers.
