Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act of 2025
This bill extends funding for respite care programs through fiscal year 2029, replacing the previous 2020-2024 authorization. It updates the definition of "family caregiver" in federal law to include "unpaid individual" instead of "unpaid adult," broadening eligibility. The legislation directly supports family caregivers and their care recipients by maintaining access to temporary relief services. It ensures existing respite care programs continue operating without interruption under the new funding period.
