## Summary

**Federally funded diaper assistance program** that would provide free diapers and related supplies and expand tax-advantaged coverage for medically necessary diapers. The bill pairs a targeted Social Services Block Grant funding stream with changes to HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, and Archer MSAs so medically necessary diapers and diapering supplies would be reimbursable by those accounts.
