The #coronavirus outbreak is putting a strain on our seniors more than almost any other group of Americans. We're asking them to vigilantly self-isolate to protect themselves, which makes the dozens of critical programs funded by the Older Americans Act more important than ever.

We need to not just reauthorize but strengthen the vital Older Americans Act programs, which is exactly what this law does. This is a big success during a critical time, and I want to thank my colleagues & the President for coming together to put the needs of our seniors first.
