Elder Justice Reauthorization and Modernization Act of 2026
The Elder Justice Reauthorization and Modernization Act of 2026 extends federal funding through 2030 to prevent and investigate elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The bill primarily affects states, Indian tribes, and community organizations by providing grants to train nursing home workers and improve retention through wage subsidies, tuition assistance, and childcare support. It also allocates money to expand adult protective services, strengthen long-term care ombudsman programs, and address social isolation among older adults. Additionally, the legislation authorizes medical-legal partnerships to help older adults resolve legal barriers to healthcare and requires regular reporting on program effectiveness.
