Summary

The bill lets unpaid family caregivers who work at least 500 caregiving hours and have under 500 paid‑work hours treat themselves as age 60 for retirement catch‑up contributions. This gives them higher contribution limits on IRAs and similar plans. It aims to help caregivers build retirement savings despite limited earnings.
