What it does
The Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act of 2025 would amend the Public Health Service Act to extend and update the federal lifespan respite care program, which provides temporary relief to family caregivers. It would redefine "family caregiver" to include any unpaid individual, not just adults, broadening eligibility for support services. The bill would also reauthorize funding for the program from fiscal years 2025 through 2030, replacing the previous authorization that expired after 2024.
