Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2024

The Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2024 updates and expands federal programs that support older Americans across the country. It would improve mental health services for older individuals, enhance nutrition programs with medically tailored meals, strengthen family caregiver support through better assessments, and improve elder abuse prevention efforts. The bill also includes provisions to increase access to assistive technology, improve services for Native American elders, and provide new funding levels for these programs through fiscal year 2029. These changes would directly affect millions of older Americans and their caregivers, as well as the state and community organizations that deliver these services.
