What it does
The bill reauthorizes the Older Americans Act of 1965 and sets its appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
The bill reauthorizes the Older Americans Act of 1965 and sets its appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It raises the Administration on Aging authorization from $55,469,968 in fiscal year 2026 to $66,460,281 in fiscal year 2030, with parallel increases for grants for State and community programs, health and longevity activities, and grants for Native Americans. Beyond the funding, it updates the aging network across the Act. It rewrites how services for mental health, substance use disorders, and cognitive impairments of older individuals are administered. It adds medically tailored meals to the nutrition provisions and lets a State use up to 25 percent of certain part C funds for grab-and-go meals. It strengthens the family caregiver support program and emphasizes respite care. It expands the long-term care ombudsman and elder abuse prevention programs, including requiring the Director of the Office of Long-Term Care Ombudsman Programs to serve full time.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 9 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 41 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms and by 8 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare; AARP; Alzheimer's Association; Argentum; Trust for America's Health. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 4 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
