FINANCE Act

This bill establishes a new grant program under the Older Americans Act to provide financial planning services specifically for family caregivers. It defines "family caregivers" as unpaid adult relatives or individuals providing in-home care for older adults or people with Alzheimer's, and "older relative caregivers" as those age 55+ caring for children or disabled relatives. Eligible entities like state agencies, nonprofits, or senior centers can receive grants to offer services including guidance on public benefits, budgeting, long-term care costs, and accessible referrals to legal aid. The program requires services to be provided in accessible formats, including translations and American Sign Language support, for caregivers with diverse needs.
