Summary

What This Bill Does

This is a non-binding Senate resolution that officially recognizes November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month." It serves to publicly acknowledge and honor the approximately 63 million Americans who provide unpaid care to family members and loved ones, valued at an estimated $600 billion annually.

Who Benefits and How

Family caregivers receive symbolic recognition from Congress, which may help validate their often-invisible work. Caregiver advocacy organizations benefit from increased visibility that can support their awareness campaigns and policy advocacy efforts. However, no direct financial benefits, legal protections, or new programs are created by this resolution.

Who Bears the Burden and How

No individual, organization, or group faces any new obligations, costs, or requirements. This is a purely symbolic resolution with no regulatory, fiscal, or legal impact.
