Senior Savings Protection Act

Key Points

• This bill provides 50 million dollars each year from 2026 to 2030 to help low-income seniors learn about and sign up for government benefits. The money goes to local and state programs that offer one-on-one help with Medicare and other savings plans.
• The funding supports State Health Insurance Assistance Programs and Area Agencies on Aging. These groups help seniors understand their health coverage options and find ways to lower their out-of-pocket costs for medicine and doctor visits.
• It also funds Aging and Disability Resource Centers and national efforts to coordinate benefit information. This ensures that older Americans and people with disabilities have a clear place to go for help with federal and state programs.
• By extending this funding for five years, the bill aims to protect seniors from missing out on savings they are eligible for. Many low-income seniors qualify for extra help with costs but do not know how to apply without this assistance.
