Enacted
This bill proposes significant supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, to expand national service programs. Its primary goals are to increase the number of national service positions by at least 500,000 and to substantially raise the living allowances for participants. Specifically, the legislation mandates that the living allowance for each national service program participant be set at 200 percent of the poverty line . This increase is intended to be permanent, with annual adjustments for inflation beginning in 2027, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Furthermore, the bill amends existing law to permanently increase the cost per member service year to 125 percent of the minimum living allowance for a full-time participant, ensuring adequate funding to support the enhanced compensation and expanded program capacity.
