GovInfo lists H.R. 2491 as introduced and referred to House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means; the bill would require CMS and SSA to simplify processes for family caregivers, and Josh Gottheimer is listed as a cosponsor.
Assessments
Gottheimer took concrete federal action to help family caregivers, including caregiver-focused roundtable work, cosponsoring caregiver-access legislation, helping advance the AADAPT Act in the House, and cosponsoring the enacted BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Reauthorization Act. That supports real but limited progress, especially around Alzheimer's and dementia caregiving. However, the broader promise to help parents care for aging parents was not shown to be comprehensively delivered, and one relevant caregiver bill remained only introduced and referred. Candidate contribution is sufficient for partial credit, not full delivery.
