Lowering Costs for Caregivers Act of 2025
Key claim: The Lowering Costs for Caregivers Act of 2025 (HR138) was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means to reduce financial burdens on caregivers.
Abstract
(HR138 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-01-03): Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Why this matters
Caregiver cost relief is a recurring tax-policy target, and HR138 represents a fresh 119th Congress vehicle to reduce out-of-pocket burdens on family and informal caregivers via the tax code. Tracking its referral to Ways and Means establishes a baseline for who would benefit (caregivers bearing medical/support costs) versus the revenue trade-off, and connects to parallel proposals like the Social Security Caregiver Credit.
