HR 9318 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Older Americans Act of 1965 to make available to Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands additional funds for community service senior opportunities.

HR 9318 amends the Older Americans Act to increase federal funding for senior community service programs in four U.S. territories: Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The bill raises the minimum funding percentage from 0.75% to 1.0% of total funds, reduces the cap on certain program allocations from 30% to 25%, and increases another allocation percentage from 10% to 25%. These changes specifically affect how funds are distributed to the territories for senior services under the Older Americans Act. The amendments apply only to funds appropriated after the bill's enactment, not to funds already allocated before it became law.
