Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act of 2025
The Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act of 2025 extends funding for the federal respite care program that supports family caregivers. It updates the definition of "family caregiver" to "unpaid individual" (replacing "unpaid adult") to clarify eligibility, and reauthorizes program funding for fiscal years 2025 through 2030. This bill directly affects unpaid caregivers and their family members who rely on respite care services to manage caregiving responsibilities. The key changes ensure the program continues operating with a revised eligibility definition and a new funding period.
