The Protecting Elders from Wire Fraud Act requires employees at covered financial institutions to report suspected exploitation of senior citizens to regulatory agencies within five days and mandates that these institutions place a hold on questionable transactions for up to 30 business days, with the possibility of two additional 30-day extensions. During this hold period, banks must notify a trusted contact identified by the account holder or a reasonably associated third party about the transaction freeze and the reasons for it. The bill also allows employees to share limited information about suspected fraud with people closely associated with the senior, provided those individuals are not believed to be involved in the exploitation. To protect institutions acting in good faith, the legislation includes a safe harbor provision that shields them from liability for delaying transactions or sharing necessary information with trusted contacts and law enforcement.

The bill authorizes $10 million in annual appropriations for fiscal years 2028 through 2033 to support these fellowships across fields including psychiatry, nursing, social work, and psychology. Additionally, the Secretary must submit reports to Congress two and five years after the program's establishment to evaluate its efficiency, impact on patient outcomes, and overall effectiveness.
