A new bill gives caregivers up to 5 years of Social Security credits if they leave work to care for a loved one.
Our data found 63M people do this work. This bill finally recognizes that.
We applaud Senators @gillibrandny & @ChrisMurphyCT.

Care for persons living with #Alzheimers is hard, and expensive. Family caregivers need this tax credit!! #ENDALZ #dementiacare

Without family caregivers, many older Americans would be forced into costly nursing homes—with the government and taxpayers paying the bill.
That's another reason we need a caregiver tax credit: spr.ly/6019Lq1tf

Now is the moment to DO MORE, not less, in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Urge your members of Congress to reaffirm their commitment to the Alzheimer’s community. Take action & help ensure the voices of those impacted by dementia are heard: bit.ly/alzaction.

This is not about efficiency, it is idiocy, and illegal at that. The idiocy we cannot reverse — but we can reverse their illegal actions.
