To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide grants to hire and retain school social workers, and for other purposes.
# Bill Summary: School Social Workers Grant Program **What the Bill Would Do** HR 7798 would create a federal grant program to help schools hire and keep school social workers on staff. School social workers typically help students deal with personal, family, and behavioral issues that affect their education. The bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which is the main federal law governing K-12 education funding and programs. **Who It Affects** The legislation would primarily benefit public schools, students, and families. Schools in districts with limited budgets could use these grants to employ or retain social workers they might otherwise be unable to afford. Students would gain access to mental health and counseling support at school, and teachers could focus more on instruction with fewer behavioral disruptions. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Gwen Moore (D-Wisconsin) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. Specific provisions and estimated costs are not detailed in the available information.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat Indian Tribal Governments in the same manner as State governments for certain Federal tax purposes, and for other purposes.
# Bill Summary: HR 7705 - Indian Tribal Tax Parity ## What It Would Do This bill would change federal tax law to give Native American tribal governments the same tax treatment as state governments in certain situations. Currently, tribal governments have different tax status than states under the Internal Revenue Code, which can affect their ability to issue bonds, manage finances, and conduct business operations. By aligning tribal tax treatment with state treatment, the bill aims to reduce financial disadvantages that tribal governments face. ## Who It Affects The primary beneficiaries would be federally recognized Native American tribal governments, which could gain more flexibility in their financial operations and economic development. This could indirectly benefit tribal members through improved tribal services and economic opportunities. The change could also affect federal tax revenue, though the magnitude is unclear from the bill description. ## Current Status The bill was introduced by Representative Gwen Moore (D-Wisconsin) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced beyond the initial committee review stage.

# Mental Health and MAMA Act of 2026 - Summary **What the Bill Does:** The Mental Health and MAMA Act of 2026 (HR 7227) aims to expand and improve mental health services and support in the United States.

Maintain Access to Vital Social Security Services Act of 2026
# Maintain Access to Vital Social Security Services Act of 2026 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to protect access to Social Security services, though specific details about its provisions are not publicly available in the summary data. Based on the title, it would likely address concerns about maintaining or improving how people can access Social Security benefits and services. The bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process. **Who It Affects** This legislation would impact Social Security recipients and people applying for benefits, which includes retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors of deceased workers.

COLAs Don’t Count Act of 2026
# COLAs Don't Count Act of 2026 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would change how cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) are counted when determining eligibility for certain federal benefit programs. COLAs are annual increases to Social Security and other benefits designed to help recipients keep up with inflation. Currently, when these increases are applied to a person's income, they can sometimes push them over the income limits for programs like Medicaid, SNAP (food assistance), or housing subsidies, causing them to lose eligibility. This bill would exclude COLA increases from being counted as income for purposes of determining whether someone qualifies for these needs-based assistance programs. **Who It Affects and Key Impact:** The bill would primarily benefit low-income seniors and disabled individuals who receive Social Security or similar benefits. Without this change, a COLA increase meant to help people afford rising costs could paradoxically disqualify them from other assistance they depend on. The bill seeks to prevent people from losing critical help simply because their benefits were increased to match inflation. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 6986 is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Gwen Moore (D-Wisconsin) in the 119th Congress.
SNAP Back Act of 2025
# SNAP Back Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The SNAP Back Act of 2025 is a proposed law that would address changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. Based on its title, the bill appears designed to restore or reverse certain reductions to SNAP benefits, though specific details about which changes it targets are not provided in the available information. **Who It Affects:** This legislation would primarily impact low-income Americans who rely on SNAP benefits to purchase food. It could affect approximately 42 million people currently enrolled in the program, as well as state agencies that administer SNAP benefits. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. As a committee-stage bill, it is still in the early phases of the legislative process. To become law, it would need to pass committee review, receive approval from the full House, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President. *Note: This summary is based on limited available information. For complete details about specific provisions, the full text of HR 5718 can be accessed through Congress.gov.*
PNA Modernization Act
# PNA Modernization Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The PNA Modernization Act would increase the amount of money that nursing home and long-term care residents can keep for personal expenses each month under Medicaid. Currently, individual residents are allowed to keep $30 monthly and couples are allowed $60 monthly. The bill would double these amounts to $60 for individuals and $120 for couples. This "personal needs allowance" is money set aside for things like clothing, toiletries, and other personal items before a resident's remaining income goes toward paying for their care. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily affects elderly and disabled people in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities who rely on Medicaid to help pay for their care. It also indirectly affects their families, as it would allow residents to retain slightly more of their income rather than having it directed toward care costs. The bill was introduced by Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wisconsin) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.

# Opportunities to Support Mothers and Deliver Children Act (HR 5406) **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill, currently in committee, aims to provide support and resources for pregnant women and mothers.

Healthcare providers and organizations involved in maternal and child health services could also be impacted depending on the bill's specific provisions. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wisconsin) and is currently in committee review. This means it has not yet advanced for a full House vote and is still in the early stages of the legislative process. *Note: Complete details about specific provisions (funding amounts, program specifics, eligibility requirements) were not available in the summary information provided.
