Homecare for Seniors Act
HR 1795, the Homecare for Seniors Act, allows seniors to use funds from their Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to cover qualified home care services. It amends tax law to define "qualified home care" as contracts providing three or more specific personal assistance services (like help with eating, bathing, toileting, or medication) from a licensed provider. The bill directly affects seniors with HSAs who need in-home care, expanding their tax-free distribution options beyond traditional medical care. It also requires the federal government to run a public awareness campaign about these new eligible home care expenses. The changes apply to expenses paid after the bill's enactment date.
