What’s happening with Earned Benefits Equality and Family Reunification Act?
The Earned Benefits Equality and Family Reunification Act is represented by H.R. 9054, which has been in the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Energy and Commerce since May 28, 2026. These committees must act next to hold a vote, but most bills never receive a committee vote and fail to move forward. This lack of committee action is the standard way that most legislative proposals end.
