Summary:

This report tracks Older Americans Act reauthorization issues, compares H.R. 4099 (Riggs) with current law, and describes other bills that were introduced in the 105th Congress, including S. 2295 (McCain). It also discusses issues in reauthorization. These include: consolidation and restructuring of programs; restructuring of the community service employment program; the interstate funding formula for supportive and nutrition services; targeting of services to low-income minority individuals; and cost-sharing for supportive and nutrition services. Authorization of the Act expired in 1995, but appropriations legislation has continued the program.
