Summary
This bill establishes and expands programs to provide low-income families and other vulnerable groups with access to diapers and related supplies.
Specifically, it provides additional funding for FY2026-FY2029 to meet the diapering needs of certain low-income families and adults through the Social Services Block Grant Program. This grant program provides a flexible funding stream to states and territories to support social services for vulnerable children, adults, and families.
The bill exempts these funds for diapering needs from sequestration. Sequestration is a process of automatic, across-the-board reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals.
Read the full summary
The bill requires these funds to be used to meet the diapering needs of
- low-income families with one or more infants, toddlers, or medically complex children (i.e., children who are age three or older and diagnosed with a serious condition such as bowel or bladder incontinence); and
- low-income families with adults, or children or adults with disabilities, who rely on diapers and other adult incontinence materials.
The bill also allows individuals to buy medically necessary diapers and related supplies with funds from health savings accounts and other tax-advantaged accounts for health care expenses.
