Creates a public education program to help Americans plan for long-term care.

This bill creates a public education program. It will help Americans plan for long-term care. The program offers clear information on care options and how to pay for them. It focuses on working-age adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers.

What Would Change

Today, the government has a National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information, but it doesn't have a specific, required public education program with detailed goals and outreach plans. If this bill passes, the Department of Health and Human Services would create a comprehensive program to teach people about long-term care planning, using various outreach methods and partnerships. It would also use existing money from the Older Americans Act to fund these new activities.
