Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2020

This bill permits the Administration on Aging to award competitive, matching grants to certain nonprofit organizations or partnerships to establish or maintain statewide senior legal hotlines to provide free services to older individuals. No more than one grant may be awarded in each state. Among other activities, grant recipients must establish referral mechanisms with, for example, other legal aid agencies and social services providers.
