Creates a federal long-term care insurance program for seniors with serious, long-lasting disabilities.
This bill would create a new federal long-term care insurance program under Social Security. It would provide monthly payments to seniors who have reached retirement age and have a serious, long-lasting disability, helping them pay for care at home or in facilities. This aims to reduce the financial burden on families and lessen reliance on Medicaid for long-term care costs.
Today, most Americans rely on personal savings, family care, or Medicaid to pay for long-term care, often exhausting their assets before qualifying for assistance. If this bill became law, eligible seniors with serious, long-lasting disabilities would receive a federal long-term care insurance benefit, providing a dedicated source of funds for their care and reducing the need to deplete their savings or rely solely on Medicaid.
