HOWEVER, DURING THE FISCAL YEAR - WHICH INCLUDED THE LAST NINE MONTHS OF THE 116TH CONGRESS AND THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE 117TH CONGRESS - WE LOOKED FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO ADVANCE PRIORITIES TO REDUCE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES, EXTEND SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE SOLVENCY AND IMPROVE BENEFITS. SENIORS ARE THE HARDEST HIT BY THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. EIGHT OUT OF 10 DEATHS FROM COVID IN THE U.S. HAVE BEEN IN ADULTS 65 YEARS OLD AND OLDER. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S MAIN LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS IN COVID RELIEF BILLS ENACTED DURING OUR FISCAL YEAR: CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021: ENACTED DECEMBER 27, 2020 (P.L. 116-260). - MADE ALL U.S. RESIDENTS WITH ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME (AGI) UP TO $75,000 ($150,000 MARRIED) ELIGIBLE FOR REBATE TAX CREDITS PAYMENT UP TO $600 FOR INDIVIDUALS OR $1,200 FOR MARRIED COUPLES. FOR LOW- INCOME SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFICIARIES THAT DO NOT FILE FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT WAS DIRECTED TO ISSUE PAYMENTS BASED ON 1099 INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION. - INCLUDED PROVISIONS LONG SUPPORTED BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE IN THE BENEFICIARY ENROLLMENT NOTIFICATION AND ELIGIBILITY SIMPLIFICATION (BENES) ACT THAT FILLS COVERAGE GAPS IN MEDICARE BY REQUIRING THAT PART B INSURANCE COVERAGE BEGIN THE FIRST OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING AN INDIVIDUAL'S ENROLLMENT AND PROVIDES FOR A PART A AND PART B SPECIAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD FOR "EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES" TO MIRROR AUTHORITY IN MEDICARE ADVANTAGE AND MEDICARE PART D. - EXTENDED FUNDING FOR LOW-INCOME MEDICARE BENEFICIARY OUTREACH, ENROLLMENT AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES PROVIDED THROUGH THE STATE HEALTH INSURANCE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AREA AGENCIES ON AGING, AGING AND DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTERS, AND THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR BENEFITS AND OUTREACH AND ENROLLMENT THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2023. - EXTENDED FUNDING FOR THE MEDICAID MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM AT $450 MILLION PER FISCAL YEAR THROUGH FY 2023. - EXTENDED THE PROTECTIONS AGAINST SPOUSAL IMPOVERISHMENT FOR PARTNERS OF MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES WHO RECEIVE HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES THROUGH FY 2023. - PROVIDES A TOTAL OF $175 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR OAA NUTRITION SERVICES. AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OF 2021: ENACTED MARCH 12, 2021 (P.L. 117-2): - MADE ALL U.S. RESIDENTS WITH ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME (AGI) UP TO $75,000 ($150,000 MARRIED) ELIGIBLE FOR REBATE PAYMENT UP TO $1,400 FOR INDIVIDUALS OR $2,800 FOR MARRIED COUPLES. DESPITE A CLARIFICATION MADE IN THE CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF, AND ECONOMIC SECURITY (CARES) ACT (P.L. 116-136) TO ENSURE THAT LOW-INCOME SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFICIARIES WHO DID NOT FILE FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS RECEIVE THE REBATES, SSA WAS SLOW TO SEND DATA FILES CONTAINING BENEFICIARY 1099S TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS). AS A RESULT OF PRESSURE FROM THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS, SSA TRANSFERRED THE 1099 FILES ON MARCH 25 TO IRS, THEREBY ENABLING THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO MAKE REBATE PAYMENTS TO LOW-INCOME BENEFICIARIES. - PRESERVED AND RESTORED THE PENSIONS OF MORE THAN ONE MILLION RETIREES AND WORKERS IN AN ESTIMATED 200-225 SEVERELY UNDERFUNDED MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS. - APPROPRIATED ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR VACCINATIONS, TESTING, AND SAFER NURSING HOME CARE. - INCLUDED $12.6 BILLION IN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL MEDICAID PAYMENTS THAT STATES CAN USE TO EXPAND HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES (HCBS). - PROVIDES A TOTAL OF $1.434 BILLION IN FUNDING FOR OAA NUTRITION SERVICES, SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO INCLUDE COVID-19 VACCINATION OUTREACH (INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION TO VACCINATION SITES) AND ACTIVITIES TO PREVENT AND MITIGATE SOCIAL ISOLATION RELATED TO COVID-19, FAMILY CAREGIVER SERVICES, DISEASE PREVENTION, GRANTS FOR TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE LONG-TERM CARE OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S OPPOSITION TO THE SENATE'S FEBRUARY 5TH APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT OFFERED BY SENATOR MITT ROMNEY (S. AMDT. 803) TO S. CON. RES. 5, THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET RESOLUTION, WHICH FACILITATED THE CONSIDERATION OF S. 1295, THE TRUST ACT AS AN AMENDMENT TO BUDGET RECONCILIATION LEGISLATION, HELPED TO PERSUADE SENATOR ROMNEY NOT TO OFFER THE LATTER AMENDMENT. COALITIONS DURING ALL OF FY 2021, NATIONAL COMMITTEE PRESIDENT AND CEO MAX RICHTMAN CHAIRED THE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL OF AGING ORGANIZATIONS (LCAO), A COALITION OF 69 NATIONAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS CONCERNED WITH THE WELL-BEING OF AMERICA'S OLDER POPULATION AND COMMITTED TO REPRESENTING THEIR INTERESTS IN THE POLICY-MAKING ARENA. FIVE OF LCAO'S MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS TAKE TURNS CHAIRING THE COALITION. THE GAVEL WAS PASSED FROM DEBRA WHITMAN WITH AARP TO MAX RICHTMAN AT LCAO'S MONTHLY MEETING ON JUNE 3, 2020. DURING MAX RICHTMAN'S TERM AS CHAIR, LCAO WAS SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING CONGRESS TO APPRECIATE THAT OLDER AMERICANS WERE THE GROUP HIT THE HARDEST BY THE PANDEMIC. MANY OF OUR COALITION PRIORITIES WERE INCLUDED IN COVID RELIEF LEGISLATION. IN ADDITION, LCAO WEATHERED THE STORMS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROPOSALS TO ELIMINATE SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE PAYROLL TAXES, BLOCK GRANT MEDICAID, REPEAL THE ACA AND CUT SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE BENEFITS. WITH A FRIENDLY PRESIDENT AND NEW CONGRESS, LCAO HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO HELP MILLIONS OF AMERICANS BY ADVOCACY IN SUPPORT OF ALLOWING MEDICARE TO NEGOTIATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES, MAKING MEDICARE BENEFIT IMPROVEMENTS, SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDING HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES AND IMPROVING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND SOLVENCY.
