This week, Representatives Dingell and Guthrie are expected to introduce a companion bill to the Senate EMPOWER Care Act in the House of Representatives. The language will be the same as the Senate version and will extend the MFP demonstration program through 2022. Read more about the bill in our previous alert.
Take Action!
A letter of support will be sent to Representatives Dingell and Guthrie and House Energy & Commerce leadership for introduction. This letter will be the same as the letter sent to the Senate upon introduction. If you already signed on to the Senate letter, you will be kept on the House letter. If you would like to be removed, email Joe Caldwell at [email protected] by 6:00 p.m. today. If you are not signed on to the letter but would like to be added, please sign on by 6:00 p.m. Eastern today using the link below. All new sign-ons and sign-offs are due today, Monday, February 26 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern.
Thank you for your ongoing work on this. The introduction of this legislation in both the House and the Senate is wholly due to ongoing advocacy of the disability community! We will continue to keep you updated on any progress or advocacy opportunities related to MFP, and stay tuned for information about another National Call-In Day coming soon!
