The study suggests that robust and equitable support for family caregivers requires increased direct federal spending, as tax-based policies alone are insufficient and inefficient. The report suggests that current tax subsidies, like the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC), are often regressive and fail to address systemic issues. Instead of taxbased solutions, the report advocates for federal policy changes through direct spending; implementing a nationwide paid family and medical leave program; and making Home and Community-Based Services mandatory under Medicaid. It recommends reforming certain tax policies, such as making the CDCTC fully refundable to better align with direct spending and avoid discriminating against low-income families.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19fb7b80 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"19fb7b80\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ff958bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ff958bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Major Legislative Recommendations<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15663b68 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"15663b68\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-528d5b3 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"528d5b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #004c80;\"><strong>Expand\/Enhance Caregiver Programs<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><em><strong>Infrastructure<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Recommends grant funding to help develop care options in underserved areas that operate during nontraditional hours (such as evenings, nights, and weekends.)
