Expanding Support for Living Donors Act of 2026

This bill changes a federal grant program that repays living organ donors for expenses tied to their donation. Grant recipients could not deny reimbursement based on income to donors whose household income is at or below 700 percent of the federal poverty line. Each donor's reimbursement would be capped at $10,000 in fiscal year 2027, adjusted each year for inflation, though the Secretary of Health and Human Services could lower the cap if funds run short after giving Congress 30 days' notice. The bill authorizes such sums as may be necessary for fiscal years 2028 through 2037, requires a yearly public report on the program, and directs the Government Accountability Office to study how Medicare could pay these costs.
