S2819 — Head Start for America's Children Act
This bill would expand and modernize Head Start to serve more infants and toddlers, require more year‑round and extended‑day options, and strengthen mental‑health, disability, and Native language supports. - Families and children: Would broaden eligibility to include families at or below 60% of the State median income and explicitly cover homeless children, foster care children, and children with disabilities. It would add mental‑health screening during home visits and push many center‑based programs toward full‑calendar‑year operation by Sept. 30, 2027 with defined exemptions. - Early childhood workers and providers: Would expand Early Head Start provider eligibility and prioritize partnerships with Tribal, minority‑serving, and Hispanic‑serving institutions. It would raise staff training expectations, require wage and benefits comparability reporting, and tie a three‑year teaching commitment to certain loan repayment rules. - Native American, Native Hawaiian, and migrant/seasonal programs: Would institutionalize Tribal and Native Hawaiian participation in governance, fund language and cultural preservation, bar non‑Native grantees for Native programs, and exempt these programs from the year‑round requirement while reserving a 4.5% grant pool for them. Would authorize a FY2026 baseline of $144.9 billion and multi‑year targeted reservations including $4.4 billion for extended operations and $300 million for slot conversions, thereby increasing federal spending.
S1507 — Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025
Bold goal: cut greenhouse gas pollution from U.S. agriculture to net zero by 2040 and at least 50% by 2030. The bill directs USDA to write and report on an Action Plan, expand research and extension, beef up conservation and soil health programs, and fund rural energy, manure alternatives, food‑waste reduction, and labeling rules to shrink emissions and boost climate resilience.
S3990 — PrEP Access and Coverage Act of 2026
Guarantees no-cost access to PrEP and PEP across public and private health coverage. This bill would require plans to cover FDA-approved HIV prevention drugs, diagnostics, counseling, and follow-up, ban most prior authorization rules, strengthen privacy for family plans, bar insurers from penalizing people who take PrEP/PEP, and fund grants and education to boost access and uptake. - People and families would get FDA-approved PrEP and PEP plus related tests, counseling, lab work, and adherence services with no cost-sharing in covered plans and, for most plans, no prior authorization. It would also keep PrEP/PEP use private within family health plans so other enrollees do not see that information. - Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, VA, and DoD beneficiaries would see expanded prevention coverage. Medicare would add prevention services to Part B with no coinsurance or deductible and place prevention drugs in Part D with zero cost-sharing for plan years after January 1, 2027, while Medicaid and CHIP would align coverage and VA and DoD would remove cost-sharing as specified. - States, tribes, community health centers, rural clinics, and nonprofit providers would be eligible for grants to pay for drugs, testing, outreach, administration, and adherence services, with programs required within 1 year of enactment. The bill would fund national public and provider education campaigns through FY2026–2030 and require evaluations and annual reports for five years.
S2120 — Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2025
Modernizes and reauthorizes the Older Americans Act to prioritize better health outcomes, stronger caregiver supports, and expanded nutrition and community services for older adults. It creates new roles and reporting to boost mental health, substance use, and cognitive‑impairment services and updates coordination across aging and disability networks. - Families and caregivers: Expands the National Family Caregiver Support Program, adds supports for grandparents raising grandchildren, authorizes trauma‑informed and peer services, and creates a Direct Care Workforce Resource Center for training and recruitment. - Older adults and the aging network: Requires a designated mental health, substance‑use, and cognitive‑impairment officer, scales evidence‑based prevention programs, supports home modifications and weatherization for aging in place, and adds medically tailored meals with counseling. States may use up to 25 percent of certain nutrition funds for off‑site "grab‑and‑go" meals. - Funding, Tribal services, and accountability: Reauthorizes the law through FY2030 and funds the Community Service Senior Opportunities program at $540.3 million in FY2026 and $647.4 million in FY2030. It raises Grants for Native Americans, tightens reporting, and requires GAO and National Academies studies to track performance and tribal needs.
S2823 — FAMILY Act
Creates a national paid family and medical leave insurance program that would pay monthly benefits to people who take caregiving or medical leave. The program centers administration at the Social Security Administration and sets eligibility, benefit formulas, state grant rules, and data-sharing to prevent fraud. - Families: People taking leave for caregiving or a serious health condition would get monthly wage-replacement benefits based on a tiered formula that starts at 85% for low wages and steps down for higher earnings. Initial benefit thresholds in 2026 include $1,257 and $3,500 and the law sets a minimum and maximum monthly benefit. - Workers and applicants: Eligibility would depend on wages or self-employment income over the most recent eight quarters with an initial earnings test of $2,000 in 2026. Benefit periods are measured over a year, applications can request retroactive coverage up to 365 days, and the bill requires certifications and appeals processes. - States, employers, and administration: The bill preserves and coordinates with state leave laws by creating a "legacy State" category and an annual grant program starting in 2027 for qualifying States, with up to 7% allowed for administrative costs. It would create an Office of Paid Family and Medical Leave inside SSA to run the program, share data with federal and state partners, and require periodic GAO reviews.
S2763 — Keep Billionaires Out of Social Security Act
Insulate the Social Security Administration from political interference and fund its operations. This bill would limit political appointee access to beneficiary systems, require career-led internal offices, and create new funding for customer service and grants. - Keeps SSA field office presence and staffing at January 1, 2025 levels and limits closures. It requires maintained live-operator access, improved phone metrics within 12 months, expanded online applications, and codifies overpayment recovery of up to 10 percent of a benefit or $10 per month. - Creates grant programs for disability advocacy and local assistance. It authorizes $25.0 million for State protection and advocacy grants for FY2026–2030 and $15.0 million per year for FY2026–2030 to fund at least 10 community grants annually, with minimum awards of $500,000 and required beneficiary representation on governance boards. - Restructures SSA governance and funding rules. It removes SSA from Department of Government Efficiency oversight, restricts political access to beneficiary data with civil and criminal penalties, reestablishes three Deputy Commissioner-led internal offices, sets an annual appropriation formula equal to 1.2 percent of specified benefit payments beginning FY2026, requires Medicare administration funding from HI and SMI trust funds, and creates a $2.0 billion Customer Experience Fund for FY2026–FY2035 while excluding SSA administrative costs from certain budget enforcement calculations. The bill would authorize significant new administrative spending and dedicated funding mechanisms and would change how SSA administration is counted in federal budget enforcement.
