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. The two bills seek to relieve the burden on the so-called "Sandwich Generation" of Americans who care for both children and aging parents, and incur the related costs.
