Overview
The Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2023 proposes to provide Social Security credits to individuals who provide at least 80 hours of unpaid care per month to a dependent relative. These credits would be calculated based on a formula and could be equivalent to up to five years of deemed wages, potentially increasing a recipient’s Social Security benefit. The bill aims to recognize and support the vital role of family caregivers and address the exclusion of some home care providers from Social Security benefits. It also seeks to clarify definitions related to ‘dependent relative’ and ‘chronically dependent individual’ to ensure proper application of the credit.
