SAFE through Medicare Act Survival Aid For Emergencies through...
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide coverage of medically necessary home resiliency services under Medicare.
This bill, known as the SAFE through Medicare Act, proposes to change Medicare to cover medically necessary home resiliency services. These services are aimed at making homes safer and more resilient, potentially reducing harm during emergencies.
The bill would affect people who are enrolled in Medicare and need home modifications to improve their safety. By covering these services, it could help seniors and disabled individuals live more securely and independently.
As of May 12, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process. The committees will now review the bill and decide if it should move forward for further debate and potential voting.
