Bill overview
This bill requires federal agencies to regularly check if people 95 years old or older are still eligible to receive federal benefits. Agencies must review eligibility every six months to ensure continued eligibility. The bill aims to prevent individuals who are no longer able to manage their finances or meet eligibility requirements from continuing to receive benefits they no longer deserve. It also allows agencies to create specific rules for how this verification process will be carried out.
