Lets clinical trial participants keep their pay without affecting taxes or federal benefits.
This bill would let people who join approved medical studies keep the money they get without paying taxes on it. This pay also wouldn't count against them when they apply for federal help or state programs that get federal money. This change aims to encourage more people to take part in important research.
Today, money and expense payments from clinical trials are usually taxed and can make it harder to qualify for federal or federally-funded help. If this bill passes, these payments would not be taxed. They would also not count against eligibility for those programs, starting with money paid after December 31, 2025.
