Providing tax credits for expenses related to family caregiving so that caring for elderly, disabled, and sick relatives does not drain savings.
Create tax credits for family caregiving expenses.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists H.R.2036, Credit for Caring Act of 2025, sponsored by Rep. Mike Carey and referred to House Ways and Means; status: Introduced.
The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide a tax credit for working family caregivers, capped at $5,000.
Congress.gov reports 73 current cosponsors for H.R.2036 and lists cosponsors by state; Maryland is not listed among the cosponsor states.
Congress.gov identifies McClain Delaney as Representative for Maryland District 6 in the 119th Congress, with member activity for sponsored and cosponsored legislation.
The action history for H.R.2036 shows referral to the House Committee on Ways and Means after introduction.
Assessments
The promised outcome was creation of a federal tax credit for family caregiving expenses. The relevant 119th Congress bill, H.R.2036, would create that credit, but it remains only introduced and referred to House Ways and Means, with no passage or enactment. The cosponsor record does not show Maryland among cosponsor states or McClain Delaney as a cosponsor, so there is not enough evidence of a serious legislative attempt by her beyond supporting the policy as a campaign position.
