Bill overview
This bill, the Catching Up Family Caregivers Act of 2026, amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow additional ‘catch-up’ contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) for individuals who serve as family caregivers. Specifically, it defines ‘qualified family caregiver’ as someone who provides significant unpaid care to a child or adult with special needs and has fewer than 500 hours of paid employment. It also allows qualified caregivers to make larger IRA contributions, similar to those available to individuals age 50 or older.
