Bill Summary
A BILL To direct Federal departments and agencies to verify eligibility for Federal benefits for individuals 105 years of age or older, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Valid Benefits Act", requires the heads of federal departments and agencies to verify the eligibility of individuals who are 105 years of age or older for federal benefits every six months. Specifically, each federal agency that provides benefits to individuals in this age group must take appropriate steps to confirm that these elderly recipients continue to meet the eligibility requirements for their respective benefits. The agencies are authorized to create their own regulations for implementing these verification procedures, and the requirement will take effect for federal benefit payments made on or after December 31, 2025. The primary goal of this legislation appears to be ensuring the accuracy and integrity of federal benefit distributions by systematically confirming the continued eligibility of extremely elderly benefit recipients.
