Honor Our Living Donors Act: Full Expense Reimbursement Guaranteed.
This law makes it easier for living organ donors to receive full reimbursement for donation-related expenses, such as travel and lost wages. The key change is eliminating the requirement to consider the organ recipient's income when processing these reimbursements. It also mandates annual public reporting on whether the federal grant program has enough funding to cover all eligible donor expenses.
Key points
The income of the person receiving the organ will no longer affect the living donor's eligibility for expense reimbursement.
Living donors are more likely to receive full coverage for costs associated with donation through the federal aid program.
A new annual report must detail any funding shortfalls needed to fully reimburse all participating living donors.
