A resolution recognizing November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month".
Summary
S.Res. 502 is a non-binding Senate resolution that would designate November 2025 as National Family Caregivers Month. This resolution aims to recognize and honor the contributions of family caregivers across the United States who provide care and support to their relatives.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic gesture from Congress to acknowledge the important role family caregivers play in their communities and households. If passed, the resolution would establish an official month of recognition for these caregivers, potentially raising awareness about their contributions and the challenges they face.
The resolution was introduced by Senator Susan M. Collins (R-ME) in November 2025 and remains in the early stages of the legislative process. Most introduced bills and resolutions do not advance further in Congress, so passage is uncertain.
