DISABILITY SCOOP: Bill Seeks Benefit For Caregivers
Many times, family members take off work to care for loved ones with disabilities. Congress is proposing a bill that would ensure that they won't lose out on Social Security retirement benefits for doing so. Under the bill, family members who leave their jobs or limit their hours to care for a relative for at least 80 unpaid hours per month would continue to receive credits with Social Security for up to five years.
