Lawmakers Unite to Support Tax Break for Family Caregivers
Bipartisan Effort Aims to Provide Financial Relief to Family Caregivers
Today, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans from Virginia joined hands with other lawmakers in supporting a bill aimed at helping family caregivers. The bill, called the Credit for Caring Act, wants to give a $5,000 tax credits to people who spend their own money to look after family members needing long-term care. Kiggans, who knows the challenges of caregiving firsthand as a geriatric nurse practitioner believes this bill will ease the financial burden on families who sacrifice a lot to care for their loved ones. The Credit for Caring Act is a response to the significant number of Americans who act as caregivers for their relatives.
