Bill overview
The Well-Being Insurance for Seniors to be at Home Act (WISH Act) establishes a federal long-term care insurance program to help seniors afford the costs of care. It provides a benefit to individuals who have reached retirement age, experienced a significant functional disability for a substantial period, and are expected to remain disabled for at least a year. The program is funded through a trust fund and aims to reduce reliance on Medicaid, while also requiring the GAO to report on potential issues like manipulation of eligibility and financial exploitation.
