Meals on Wheels America sent a letter of support for H.R. 2692, the Addressing Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults Act of 2023 (Addressing SILO Act) to Representative Linda Sánchez and House Ways and Means Committee Leadership. The Addressing SILO Act, sponsored by Rep. Sánchez, would leverage community-based organizations, like Meals on Wheels, and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to tackle social isolation and loneliness among older adults by establishing additional support for grants and training programs. As social isolation among older adults leads to $6.7 billion in excess Medicare costs each year, this bill would provide funding and support to these programs while saving taxpayer dollars through reductions in other costly healthcare expenditures.
