What this bill would do

The Alleviating Barriers for Caregivers Act requires the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Commissioner of Social Security to review and simplify various processes. This review focuses on eligibility, enrollment, and the use of benefits under Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and Social Security programs. The goal is to streamline procedures and improve communication for family caregivers. Officials are tasked with reducing repetitive paperwork and improving agency interactions. After the review, officials must take action to improve customer service for caregivers and individuals. Finally, the officials must submit detailed reports to Congress regarding their findings and actions.
