Family caregiver legislation is introduced
The AGE (Americans Giving care to Elders) Act and the Long Term Care Insurance Integrity Act establish a clearinghouse for information on best practices; provide a tax credit of up to $1,200 a year for elder care costs; and establish a third-party review board to address the denial of appropriate and timely LCTI benefits by insurance companies.
