HRES 1229 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting the designation of May 15, 2024, as "National Senior Fraud Awareness Day" to raise awareness about the increasing number of fraudulent scams targeted at seniors in the United States, to encourage the implementation of policies to prevent those scams from happening, and to improve protections from those scams for seniors.

HRES 1229 designates May 15, 2024, as "National Senior Fraud Awareness Day" to highlight scams targeting seniors in the U.S. It does not create new laws but urges awareness about common fraud types (like impersonation scams and tech support fraud) and encourages existing organizations - such as law enforcement, area agencies on aging, and financial institutions - to prevent scams and educate seniors. The resolution specifically recognizes the need to address underreported fraud, including scams causing seniors to lose over $2 billion annually, and promotes coordinated efforts to improve protections.
