Creates free legal hotlines for older Americans across the country.
This bill would create a new program to set up free legal hotlines for older Americans in every state. These hotlines would offer advice and help with civil legal issues, especially for those with the greatest financial or social needs. Currently, there isn't a dedicated federal program like this.
Today, there is no dedicated federal program to fund statewide senior legal hotlines under the Older Americans Act of 1965. If this bill becomes law, Congress would authorize the appropriation of $10,000,000 each fiscal year from 2027 through 2031. This funding would support the creation and operation of these hotlines across the country, offering free legal help to older Americans.
