HR 577 United States House · 118th Congress

To direct Federal departments and agencies to verify eligibility for Federal benefits for individuals 95 years of age or older, and for other purposes.

HR 577 requires federal agencies to verify semiannually whether individuals aged 95 or older remain eligible for federal benefits they receive. This applies to all federal benefit programs (like Social Security or veterans' benefits) where recipients are 95 or older. Agencies must implement this process through regulations, with the requirement taking effect for benefits paid on or after December 31, 2024. The bill focuses on ensuring ongoing eligibility for this specific age group without altering benefit amounts or eligibility criteria.
