SUMMARY

S. 192 would amend the Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965, which provides funding
through the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor for
services to the elderly, including state and local community programs on aging (such as
congregate nutrition services and caregiver support), community service employment, and
services to help prevent elder abuse. The authorization for most of the OAA programs
expired in 2011, but those programs have continued to receive appropriations each year
since that time. Those programs received discretionary appropriations totaling $1.9 billion
for 2015.

CBO estimates the bill would authorize appropriations totaling $5.8 billion for fiscal years
2016-2018. Assuming appropriation of the estimated amounts, CBO estimates that
implementing S. 192 would increase outlays by $5.8 billion over the 2016-2020 period.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

S. 192 would not impose intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).

The estimated budgetary impact of S. 192 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 500 (education, employment, training, and social
services).
