People in clinical trials would keep more pay and protect their aid.
This bill would let people who volunteer for approved medical studies keep more of their pay. It would make sure that payments for taking part in these studies are not taxed. It would also stop these payments from affecting their ability to get federal aid, or aid from state and local programs that use federal money, for payments received after December 31, 2025.
Today, money received for participating in clinical trials is generally counted as taxable income and can affect eligibility for federal or federally-funded assistance programs. If this bill becomes law, compensation and reimbursements for participating in approved clinical trials would not be taxed by the federal government. These payments also would not be counted as income or resources when determining eligibility for federal or federally-funded state and local assistance programs, for amounts paid after December 31, 2025.
