Last week, this blog reported the Older Americans Act had lapsed. Earlier this week, The National Law Review reported that the Senate passed the Older Americans Reauthorization Act of 2015. Welcome back, Act! This week marks the 50th anniversary of the signing into law of the original Older Americans Act, and this new reauthorization will support many of the initiatives discussed over the course of last week, including providing nutritional services for nearly 12 million seniors, and specific support for home-delivered meals.
