From D.C.: LeadingAge Releases 2025 Reconciliation Bill Explainers; Supreme Court Allows Federal Agency Layoffs to Proceed

Following the July 4 enactment of H.R. 1, the 2025 Reconciliation Bill, LeadingAge has released a series of explainers outlining how key provisions of the law affect aging services providers. These members-only resources—now available in the LeadingAge Resource Library—cover topics including aging services provisions, affordable housing, Medicaid eligibility and work requirements, provider taxes, rural health transformation, and tax policy.

In related policy news, the U.S. Supreme Court on July 8 lifted a lower court injunction that had blocked several federal agencies from implementing planned reductions in force. With the injunction removed, agencies are now permitted to proceed with reorganization and layoff efforts. For more on this development, read the full update from LeadingAge. LeadingAge will continue to monitor the implications for programs and funding streams relevant to the aging services field.
