Bill overview
This bill, the Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2021, aims to establish a national network of statewide senior legal hotlines. It allows the Administration on Aging to provide competitive grants to nonprofit organizations or partnerships to create or maintain these hotlines, which offer free legal assistance to older adults via telephone and other communication methods. These hotlines will prioritize serving older individuals with the greatest economic and social needs and collaborate with existing legal assistance programs. The bill also includes funding for these initiatives.
