H.R. 6210: Senior Savings Protection Act
This bill, known as the Senior Savings Protection Act, aims to extend funding for outreach and assistance programs targeted at low-income seniors. Specifically, it modifies existing provisions regarding several federal programs that assist older adults in accessing benefits related to health insurance and social services.
Key Provisions of the Bill
1. Funding for State Health Insurance Assistance Programs
The bill allocates an additional $15 million per year for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030 to state health insurance assistance programs (SHIPs). These programs help seniors navigate their health insurance options and benefits under Medicare and Medicaid.
2. Funding for Area Agencies on Aging
Similar to SHIPs, the bill also provides $15 million per year for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030 for area agencies on aging. These agencies offer a range of services, including information on eligibility for federal and state assistance programs, health care, and social services for seniors.
3. Funding for Aging and Disability Resource Centers
The bill designates $5 million per year for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030 for aging and disability resource centers. These centers serve as a point of entry to get information about benefits, services, and supports available to older adults and people with disabilities.
4. Enhanced Coordination Efforts
A section of the bill emphasizes the importance of coordinating educational efforts to inform older Americans about the benefits available to them under federal and state programs. It includes a provision for an additional $15 million per year for coordination efforts for the same fiscal period (2026-2030).
The legislation's goals revolve around improving access to necessary information and assistance for older adults, potentially helping to ensure that they receive the benefits they are entitled to while navigating complex health care and social systems.
