This legislative proposal aims to extend financial support for family-to-family health information centers by amending title V of the Social Security Act. These centers play a crucial role in providing information and support to families of children with special health care needs. The bill specifies funding for two distinct periods to ensure continued operation. For the period beginning January 31, 2026, and ending September 30, 2026, it allocates a pro rata portion of the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2025. Subsequently, it authorizes an appropriation of $6,000,000 annually for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2030, thereby securing long-term funding for these vital services.
