This bill directs CMS and SSA to review how family caregivers interact with Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and Social Security, looking for ways to simplify paperwork, applications, and communication. Agencies must then fix identified problems and report findings to Congress within two years, with a follow-up report two years later.
Family caregivers who help aging parents, disabled relatives, or children get and keep health coverage or Social Security benefits. Federal and state employees who administer these programs are also affected.
The reviews could lead to less repetitive paperwork, shorter phone wait times, better websites, and more translation and disability-accessible services, though the bill creates no new benefits or eligibility changes.
