FIGHTING FOR YOU

Seeking financial relief for family caregivers
Caring for a loved one can take a heavy toll, particularly when it means stretching your finances. AARP is fighting to bring some financial relief to Virginia’s family caregivers who pay expensive costs to help care for their parents, spouses, or other loved ones. We are urging legislators to create a state income tax credit for qualified family caregivers in Virginia. Eligible expenses would include transportation, medical equipment, home health care aides, and more. A state tax credit is a commonsense solution to help make family caregivers’ work a little bit easier.

New Law Creates Caregiver Advisory Committee
AARP’s National Volunteer President Catherine Alicia Georges serves on the RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council, created by a bipartisan federal law that AARP fought hard to pass. The Council is charged with developing a national strategy to support family caregivers that includes communities, providers, government, and others.
