DELIVER Act of 2024

The DELIVER Act of 2024 amends the tax code to increase the mileage reimbursement rate for volunteers delivering meals to homebound elderly, disabled, frail, or at-risk individuals. It requires using the standard IRS business mileage rate (not the lower charitable rate) for these deliveries, directly affecting meal delivery programs relying on volunteer drivers. The change applies to miles driven after the bill's enactment, making tax deductions for mileage more reflective of actual driving costs. This policy adjustment aims to reduce financial barriers for volunteers participating in meal delivery services.
