Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) joined U.S. Representative Chrissy Houlahan in introducing the Multigenerational Caregiving Data Act. The bipartisan, bicameral legislation would close a critical data gap affecting millions of Americans, including Senator Kim, who fall into the “sandwich generation” as they care for both aging parents and children.
Support passage of the Multigenerational Caregiving Data Act to close data gaps affecting sandwich generation caregivers who care for both aging parents and children.
Occurrences
Evidence
An exact-title search for legislation named Multigenerational Caregiving Data Act did not identify a bill record or enacted public law.
An exact-title GovInfo search did not identify bill text, enrolled bill text, or public law text for the Multigenerational Caregiving Data Act.
Kim described himself as a caregiver and said he hoped the Senate would provide child care, long-term care, and support for caregivers, but the prepared remarks did not announce passage or introduction of the named data act.
Vanity Fair reported Kim was making caregiving a defining issue and was still in the beginning stages, with early efforts aimed at Medicaid, caregiver financial support, and Alzheimer's research.
Assessments
The named Multigenerational Caregiving Data Act does not appear to have been introduced, passed, or enacted in Congress by July 1, 2026, based on the provided Congress.gov and GovInfo searches. Kim has publicly advocated for caregiving policy during his Senate term, but the evidence does not show that he sponsored, wrote, materially advanced, or secured passage of the specific act promised. General caregiving advocacy is insufficient to count as delivery of this specific legislative promise.
