PLAN Act of 2026

This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create and run a public education campaign, as part of the National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information, about the need for people to plan for long-term care. The campaign would use television, radio, print, social media, and community programs run with state and local governments, aging agencies, nonprofits, and other partners. It would include materials in multiple languages, tools accessible to people with disabilities, and outreach to low- and middle-income people who do not qualify for Medicaid. The Secretary would send Congress an implementation plan within one year and yearly progress reports after that. The campaign would be paid for using funds already appropriated under section 411 of the Older Americans Act.
