Support for Organ Donors: Increased Reimbursements and Accessibility
This act aims to facilitate organ donation by living donors, increasing the accessibility of the reimbursement program. This means more people will be able to receive financial assistance for donation-related expenses, regardless of the organ recipient's income. The changes are intended to remove financial barriers, potentially increasing the number of life-saving transplants.
Key points
Organ recipient's income will not be considered when reimbursing the donor.
Donors with household income at or below 700% of the poverty line will be eligible for reimbursement.
The maximum reimbursement amount for a donor will be $10,000 in fiscal year 2026, with annual adjustments.
The program will regularly report on its activities and impact to ensure transparency and effectiveness.
