Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act of 2025

Revises the Lifespan Respite Care Program by broadening who counts as a "family caregiver"—changing the phrase "unpaid adult" to "unpaid individual," which can include unpaid caregivers who are not adults—and by extending the program’s authorized funding period. The authorization timeframe is moved from fiscal years 2020–2024 to fiscal years 2025–2030, allowing the program to remain authorized for future appropriations through 2030.

The change to the definition expands potential eligibility for program services and grant activities; the funding extension is an authorization (it does not itself appropriate money). Implementation would rely on subsequent grant guidance and any future appropriations to carry out program activities under the extended authorization period.
