Family caregivers save us billions. They've earned a tax credit.

Tell your state Senator to support family caregivers and vote YES on H.B. 1049 today.

Across Hawai`i, family caregivers help their parents, spouses and other loved ones live at home - where they want to be - instead of being forced into costly nursing care facilities. In addition to helping with bathing, dressing, transportation and much more, family caregivers take on financial challenges. About 154,000 caregivers in Hawai`i put in 144 million hours of caregiving worth $2.6 billion if they were paid.

That's why AARP is fighting to bring some financial relief for Hawai`i family caregivers who pay for expenses such as adult day care services out of their own pocket through a tax credit - HB 1049.

Tell your state Senator to support family caregivers and vote YES on H.B. 1049 today.

The Hawaii Senate Ways and Means Committee is expected to vote on H.B. 1049. Your Senator needs to hear from you TODAY! Tell your Senator to vote YES on HB 1049.

Subject Senator - Vote Yes on HB 1049

Dear Senator,

Hawai`i family caregivers protect their older parents, spouses and other loved ones being forced from their homes and into costly nursing care facilities. In addition to helping with bathing, dressing, transportation and much more, family caregivers take on financial challenges - paying for expensive care to help their loved ones

That's why I urge you to support the dependent care services tax credit in H.B. 1049, to bring some financial relief to caregiving families who pay many expenses out of their own pocket to help their older loved ones live at home.

Under H.B. 1049 caregiving families could be eligible for a tax credit up to $10,000 per dependent to partially reimburse the money they spend out of their own pocket.

Many Hawai`i family caregivers need financial relief. Please support HB 1049. Hawai`i families are counting on you.
