This is why I was so happy to partner with Congresswoman Suzan DelBene to reintroduce the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act, which strengthens and modernizes the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program by extending it through 2037. This way we can expand eligibility and increase reimbursement amounts beginning in fiscal year 2027.
Reauthorize the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program through 2037, expand eligibility, and increase reimbursement amounts for living organ donors.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. Miller said the bill would strengthen and modernize the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program by extending it through 2037, expanding eligibility, and increasing reimbursement amounts beginning in fiscal year 2027; the release also says the maximum reimbursement would rise to $10,000, pegged to inflation.
Assessments
Miller materially advanced the promise by reintroducing bipartisan legislation on March 18, 2026 that specifically would reauthorize the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program through 2037, expand eligibility, and raise reimbursement levels. But the available record here shows only introduction and advocacy, not enactment, implementation, or completed program changes. Under the federal office standard, that is a serious legislative attempt without delivery of the promised outcome, so the claim is best scored as never with effort credit.
