Report Medicare Payments to Physicians: Sent letter and met with legislators in support of the Patients First Act of 2026, (H.R. 9693) for a Medicare Economic Index inflationary updated to the physician fee schedule for physician practices, support for independent practices and replacement of MIPS with POINTS for quality measures. Supported and urged Congress to pass (H.R. 8163, S.5180), the Provider Reimbursement Stability Act, to enhance Medicare reimbursement stability for physicians by modernizing the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026. H.R. 8163 would raise the budget neutrality threshold from $20 million to $57.64 million and would use cumulative increases in the Medicare Economic Index (MEI) to update the threshold every 5 years. ACP supported the Medicare Physician Data-Drive Performance Payment System Act of 2026, H.R. 8622. This critical legislation seeks to modernize Medicare payments by reducing administrative burdens, improving patient care, and supporting small/rural practices through a more practical, data-driven approach. Dr. William Fox, Chair Emeritus of ACPs Board of Regents, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committees Health Subcommittee on policy reforms to improve the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) on behalf of ACP. Dr. Rebecca Andrews, Past Chair of ACPs Board of Regents, testified before the House E&C Health Subcommittee in favor of each of the bills mentioned above. ACP supported Pay PCPs Act of 2026 (S. 5269), to inject $10 billion federal investment from fiscal year 2027 through 2031 to provide for the establishment of hybrid primary care payments under Medicare. Support Value-Based Care: Urged reintroduction and support of the Value in Health Care Act of 2024. The bill provides a multi-year commitment to reforming care delivery by extending MACRAs 5 percent advanced alternative payment models (APM) incentives that expired at the end of 2024. ACP supported the Preserving Patient Access to Accountable Care Act which aligns with Colleges policy to support the transition to value-based payments through alternative payment models (APMs) that can accommodate a wide range of specialties, practice sizes, and unique patient populations. ACP supported this legislation as it would extend the incentive payments for qualifying physicians and other clinicians to participate in Medicare advanced APMs through payment year 2027 at an increased amount of 3.53 percent and would freeze the scheduled increase in qualifying thresholds. Pricing Transparency/Consolidation: Provided comments to the House Energy and Commerce Committees markup, which includes the Lower Cost, More Transparency Act, H.R. 9393, and the Improving Seniors Timely Access to Care Act, H.R. 3514. The two bills would enhance price transparency across health care entities and streamline unnecessary administrative burden, respectively. ACP also supported several policies included in bills slated for markup that would reform Medicare Advantage practices to ensure accountability and safeguard market competition. ACP strongly supports pricing transparency in health care. ACP supported the passage of the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which passed the House in the 118th Congress, and we continue to support its reintroduction and passage in this Congress under H.R. 9393. ACP supported provisions within the Medicare Advantage Cost Transparency Act, H.R. 9392, led by Ranking Member DeGette and Dr. Joyce, which would provide greater oversight by requiring that Medicare Advantage (MA) plans report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on encounter data, including the allowed amount that a plan agreed to pay for a service in total and the total out-of-pocket costs the patient pays for a service. The College has repeatedly voiced support for the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act, led by Reps. Kelly and DelBene, which would protect patients from unnecessary delays in care and reduce administrative burden on physicians by streamlining MAs prior authorization approval processes. We urge Congress to pass H.R. 3514 to ensure that our patients will get the care they need, when they need it most. FY2026 Appropriations/Agency Restructuring: For FY2027, ACP is urged appropriations committees that funding be either maintained or increased for the following proven programs: 1) Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), $10.5 billion, including: 2) Health Workforce, National Health Service Corps (NHSC), $915.6 million in total program funding; 3) Primary Care Training and Enhancement (PCTE), $71 million; 4) Title X Family Planning Program, $390 million; 5) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), $500 million; 6) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Injury Prevention and Control, $11.6 billion, including: 7) Firearm Injury and Mortality Prevention Research, $35 million; 8) Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Social Determinants of Health, $100 million; 9) National Institutes of Health (NIH), $51.3 billion, including: 10) Office of the Director, Firearms Research, $25 million; 11) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Government Accountability Office (GAO); and 12) Report language to ensure primary care physicians are receiving Medicare physician revaluations. We urged Congress to include report language in the FY2026 Labor HHS appropriations bill to direct the GAO to conduct a study encompassing the last decade of CMS estimates of new and revised code utilizations. ACP believes CMS has overestimated utilizations, thus adversely affecting available funds in the Medicare physician fee schedule for other code usage. While the House and Senate bills included language, we prefer the stronger House version language and hope Congress will pass the FY26 Labor HHS bills. Also urged Congress to include report language in the FY2027 Labor HHS appropriations bill directing a study on extent G2211 add on codes and increases in fee schedule for primary care are being retained by hiring entities (hospitals, ACOs, private equity) versus the physicians. ACP urged appropriators to provide $35 million for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), $25 million for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $1 million for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to conduct public health research into firearm morbidity and mortality prevention. Primary Care and the Physician Workforce: ACP urged Congress to support the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 (S. 2439/ H.R. 4731), which would increase the number of Medicare supported direct graduate medical education (DGME) and indirect medical education (IME) positions by 14,000 over seven years. ACP supported the Conrad State 30 and Physician Access Reauthorization Act, S. 709 and H.R. 1585, to allow states to sponsor foreign-trained physicians to work in medically underserved areas in exchange for a waiver of the physicians' two-year foreign residence requirement. We supported the Resident Education Deferred Interest (REDI) Act (S 942/HR 2028) that, if passed, will allow borrowers to qualify for interest-free deferment on their student loans while serving in a medical or dental internship or residency program. ACP supported legislation for the H-1Bs for Physicians and Healthcare Workforce Act, H.R. 7961. The bill's primary goal is to exempt healthcare professionals from a $100,000 H-1B visa filing fee. ACP supported H.R. 8765, the Prioritizing Primary Care Act. This legislation would mandate an annual report on federal spending on primary care as well as establish a working group to study and make recommendations on how each federal agency addresses the issue. Scope of Practice: ACP provided comments urging the House Ways and Means Committee during markup to oppose the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act, which would expand Medicare coverage to permanently include select services provided by a pharmacist. ACP advocated before Senate offices against the marked-up bill coming out of House Ways and Means and renamed the Main Street Pharmacy Access Act enabling pharmacists to bill certain Medicare codes and to diagnose and treat flu, strep throat and other respiratory infections. Expand Patient Access: We urged Congress to reintroduce and pass the Chronic Care Management Improvement Act. This legislation would have removed the cost sharing requirement for patients to access chronic care management services. We also support allowing the physician that performs chronic care management services to waive the requirement that the patient pay the 20 percent coinsurance fee associated with this service. We urged Congress to protect the public health infrastructure, recognize evidence-based science and preserve healthcare agency staffing to inform and protect the public from infectious disease and other health emergencies. Incidences of previously well-controlled, vaccine-preventable diseases, such as pertussis (whooping cough) and measles, are increasing in the United States. Vaccines are vital to our ability to prevent diseases that threaten public health, including novel diseases and future pandemics. We urged Congress to utilize the best possible scientific evidence to guide public health legislation. It is critical that public health leaders support evidence-based medicine, including the use of vaccines and other effective public health strategies that protect the public. ACP conducted a Hill Briefing on using scientifically driven, evidenced-based vaccines. Clinical Labs: Supported the provision in H.R. 6366 that would delay payment reductions and data reporting periods for the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA). Legislation could improve patient access to laboratory tests used to diagnose, monitor, prevent, and manage diseases for Medicare beneficiaries. Prescription Drug Reform: Supported the Capping Prescription Costs Act, introduced by Senator Raphael Warnock. The legislation would lower prescription drug costs for millions of Americans by placing annual caps on out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs at $2,000 for individuals and $4,000 for families with private insurance. Supported bipartisan Drug-price Transparency for Consumers (DTC) Act, a bill that would require price disclosures on advertisements for prescription drugs in order to empower patients and reduce Americans colossal spending on medications. The bill was introduced by Senators Dick Durbin and Chuck Grassley. ACP also supported the Saving Seniors Money on Prescriptions Act, H.R. 950, which aims to drive down the rising costs of prescription drugs for patients on Medicare by improving price transparency in Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) business practices. Urged Congress to reintroduce and pass: 1) the Lowering Drug Costs for American Families Act, to expand the number of prescription drugs which Medicare can negotiate under the Inflation Reduction Act from 20 to 50 starting in 2029; 2) the Medicare PBM Accountability Act, legislation aimed at lowering the costs of prescription drugs for seniors covered by Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans; 3) the Increasing Access to Biosimilars Act of 2023, legislation which would encourage adoption of biosimilars in Medicare and improve biosimilar accessibility, by establishing a new pilot program - a voluntary, shared savings demonstration program - for providers of biosimilars in Medicare Part B; 4) the Cutting Copays Act, legislation which would eliminate cost-sharing for generic drugs for LIS beneficiaries, helping to incentivize the use of generic drugs; and the Drug Shortage Prevention Act of 2023, which would require that manufacturers of over-the-counter and prescription drugs notify Food & Drug Administration when they are unlikely to meet demand. ACP supported legislation, Drug-Price Transparency for Consumers (DTC) Act, by Senators. Durbin and Grassley that requires Direct-to-Consumer advertisements for prescription drugs and biological products paid for by Medicare and Medicaid to include the list price or Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) for a 30-month supply-which is the price set by manufacturers (and which is paid by uninsured patients, as well as the 50 percent of patients with high-deductible plans).","foreign_entity_issues":"","lobbyists":[{"lobbyist":{"id":37837,"prefix":null,"prefix_display":null,"first_name":"BRIAN","nickname":null,"middle_name":null,"last_name":"BUCKLEY","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":false},{"lobbyist":{"id":60177,"prefix":null,"prefix_display":null,"first_name":"JARED","nickname":null,"middle_name":null,"last_name":"FROST","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":false},{"lobbyist":{"id":104508,"prefix":null,"prefix_display":null,"first_name":"GEORGE","nickname":null,"middle_name":null,"last_name":"LYONS","suffix":"jr","suffix_display":"JR"},"covered_position":null,"new":false}],"government_entities":[{"id":134,"name":"Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC)"},{"id":136,"name":"Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)"},{"id":135,"name":"Food & Drug Administration (FDA)"},{"id":34,"name":"Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS)"},{"id":201,"name":"Homeland Security, Dept of (DHS)"},{"id":2,"name":"HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES"},{"id":9,"name":"President of the U.S."},{"id":1,"name":"SENATE"},{"id":39,"name":"State, Dept of (DOS)"},{"id":42,"name":"Veterans Affairs, Dept of (VA)"}]}],"conviction_disclosures":[],"foreign_entities":[],"affiliated_organizations":[]},{"url":"https://lda.gov/api/v1/filings/eab4438c-b170-4e2d-b0d6-7914bcb62ee3/","filing_uuid":"eab4438c-b170-4e2d-b0d6-7914bcb62ee3","filing_type":"Q3","filing_type_display":"3rd Quarter - Report","filing_year":2026,"filing_period":"third_quarter","filing_period_display":"3rd Quarter (July 1 - Sep 30)","filing_document_url":"https://lda.gov/filings/public/filing/eab4438c-b170-4e2d-b0d6-7914bcb62ee3/print/","filing_document_content_type":"text/html","income":null,"expenses":"86880.00","expenses_method":"B","expenses_method_display":"B","posted_by_name":"Shari Erickson","dt_posted":"2026-10-14T15:04:42-04:00","termination_date":null,"registrant_country":"United States of America","registrant_ppb_country":null,"registrant_address_1":"25 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Suite 700","registrant_address_2":null,"registrant_different_address":false,"registrant_city":"WASHINGTON","registrant_state":"DC","registrant_zip":"20001","registrant":{"id":2002,"url":"https://lda.gov/api/v1/registrants/2002/","house_registrant_id":32190,"name":"AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS","description":null,"address_1":"25 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Suite 700","address_2":null,"address_3":null,"address_4":null,"city":"WASHINGTON","state":"DC","state_display":"District of Columbia","zip":"20001","country":"US","country_display":"United States of America","ppb_country":"US","ppb_country_display":"United States of America","contact_name":"GEORGE LYONS JR.","contact_telephone":"+1 202-261-4531","dt_updated":"2026-07-13T17:53:37.650943-04:00"},"client":{"id":102673,"url":"https://lda.gov/api/v1/clients/102673/","client_id":12,"name":"AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS","general_description":null,"client_government_entity":false,"client_self_select":true,"state":"DC","state_display":"District of Columbia","country":"US","country_display":"United States of America","ppb_state":"DC","ppb_state_display":"District of Columbia","ppb_country":"US","ppb_country_display":"United States of America","effective_date":"1996-02-14"},"lobbying_activities":[{"general_issue_code":"HCR","general_issue_code_display":"Health Issues","description":"ACPs 2026 Third Quarter Lobbying Disclosure Report Medicare Payments to Physicians: Sent letter and met with legislators in support of the Patients First Act of 2026, (H.R. 9693) for a Medicare Economic Index inflationary updated to the physician fee schedule for physician practices, support for independent practices and replacement of MIPS with POINTS for quality measures. Supported and urged Congress to pass (H.R. 8163, S.5180), the Provider Reimbursement Stability Act, to enhance Medicare reimbursement stability for physicians by modernizing the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026. H.R. 8163 would raise the budget neutrality threshold from $20 million to $57.64 million and would use cumulative increases in the Medicare Economic Index (MEI) to update the threshold every 5 years. ACP supported the Medicare Physician Data-Drive Performance Payment System Act of 2026, H.R. 8622. This critical legislation seeks to modernize Medicare payments by reducing administrative burdens, improving patient care, and supporting small/rural practices through a more practical, data-driven approach. Dr. William Fox, Chair Emeritus of ACPs Board of Regents, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committees Health Subcommittee on policy reforms to improve the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) on behalf of ACP. Dr. Rebecca Andrews, Past Chair of ACPs Board of Regents, testified before the House E&C Health Subcommittee in favor of each of the bills mentioned above. ACP supported Pay PCPs Act of 2026 (S. 5269), to inject $10 billion federal investment from fiscal year 2027 through 2031 to provide for the establishment of hybrid primary care payments under Medicare. Support Value-Based Care: Urged reintroduction and support of the Value in Health Care Act of 2024. The bill provides a multi-year commitment to reforming care delivery by extending MACRAs 5 percent advanced alternative payment models (APM) incentives that expired at the end of 2024. ACP supported the Preserving Patient Access to Accountable Care Act which aligns with Colleges policy to support the transition to value-based payments through alternative payment models (APMs) that can accommodate a wide range of specialties, practice sizes, and unique patient populations. ACP supported this legislation as it would extend the incentive payments for qualifying physicians and other clinicians to participate in Medicare advanced APMs through payment year 2027 at an increased amount of 3.53 percent and would freeze the scheduled increase in qualifying thresholds. Pricing Transparency/Consolidation: Provided comments to the House Energy and Commerce Committees markup, which includes the Lower Cost, More Transparency Act, H.R. 9393, and the Improving Seniors Timely Access to Care Act, H.R. 3514. The two bills would enhance price transparency across health care entities and streamline unnecessary administrative burden, respectively. ACP also supported several policies included in bills slated for markup that would reform Medicare Advantage practices to ensure accountability and safeguard market competition. ACP strongly supports pricing transparency in health care. ACP supported the passage of the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which passed the House in the 118th Congress, and we continue to support its reintroduction and passage in this Congress under H.R. 9393. ACP supported provisions within the Medicare Advantage Cost Transparency Act, H.R. 9392, led by Ranking Member DeGette and Dr. Joyce, which would provide greater oversight by requiring that Medicare Advantage (MA) plans report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on encounter data, including the allowed amount that a plan agreed to pay for a service in total and the total out-of-pocket costs the patient pays for a service. The College has repeatedly voiced support for the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act, led by Reps. Kelly and DelBene, which would protect patients from unnecessary delays in care and reduce administrative burden on physicians by streamlining MAs prior authorization approval processes. We urge Congress to pass H.R. 3514 to ensure that our patients will get the care they need, when they need it most. FY2026 Appropriations/Agency Restructuring: For FY2027, ACP is urged appropriations committees that funding be either maintained or increased for the following proven programs: 1) Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), $10.5 billion, including: 2) Health Workforce, National Health Service Corps (NHSC), $915.6 million in total program funding; 3) Primary Care Training and Enhancement (PCTE), $71 million; 4) Title X Family Planning Program, $390 million; 5) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), $500 million; 6) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Injury Prevention and Control, $11.6 billion, including: 7) Firearm Injury and Mortality Prevention Research, $35 million; 8) Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Social Determinants of Health, $100 million; 9) National Institutes of Health (NIH), $51.3 billion, including: 10) Office of the Director, Firearms Research, $25 million; 11) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Government Accountability Office (GAO); and 12) Report language to ensure primary care physicians are receiving Medicare physician revaluations. We urged Congress to include report language in the FY2026 Labor HHS appropriations bill to direct the GAO to conduct a study encompassing the last decade of CMS estimates of new and revised code utilizations. ACP believes CMS has overestimated utilizations, thus adversely affecting available funds in the Medicare physician fee schedule for other code usage. While the House and Senate bills included language, we prefer the stronger House version language and hope Congress will pass the FY26 Labor HHS bills. Also urged Congress to include report language in the FY2027 Labor HHS appropriations bill directing a study on extent G2211 add on codes and increases in fee schedule for primary care are being retained by hiring entities (hospitals, ACOs, private equity) versus the physicians. ACP urged appropriators to provide $35 million for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), $25 million for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $1 million for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to conduct public health research into firearm morbidity and mortality prevention. Primary Care and the Physician Workforce: ACP urged Congress to support the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 (S. 2439/ H.R. 4731), which would increase the number of Medicare supported direct graduate medical education (DGME) and indirect medical education (IME) positions by 14,000 over seven years. ACP supported the Conrad State 30 and Physician Access Reauthorization Act, S. 709 and H.R. 1585, to allow states to sponsor foreign-trained physicians to work in medically underserved areas in exchange for a waiver of the physicians' two-year foreign residence requirement. We supported the Resident Education Deferred Interest (REDI) Act (S 942/HR 2028) that, if passed, will allow borrowers to qualify for interest-free deferment on their student loans while serving in a medical or dental internship or residency program. ACP supported legislation for the H-1Bs for Physicians and Healthcare Workforce Act, H.R. 7961. The bill's primary goal is to exempt healthcare professionals from a $100,000 H-1B visa filing fee. ACP supported H.R. 8765, the Prioritizing Primary Care Act.

In Houston, ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a beloved resident and father who was on his way to work on July 7 in the citys East End. On July 13 in Biddeford, Maine, ICE also shot and killed Johan Sebastian, a 25-year-old husband and father of a three-year-old daughter. The letter addresses the need for training standards as well as reallocation of budget funds. The letter ends with \"as people of faith, we believe public funding should go toward caring for our communities, rather than fueling agencies that are killing our neighbors and tearing families apart.\" DREAM AND PROMISE ACT DISCHARGE PETITION (H.R. 1589): NAC was part of this sign-on to members of the House of Representatives re: protections for immigrant youth, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, and Temporary Protective Status (TPS) holders. These protections are long overdue and the urgent need for permanent protections is more pressing than ever. With the June 2026 devastating TPS ruling by the Supreme Court and the continuous DACA renewal delays, detentions, and even deportations - our communities cannot wait a moment longer. Congress must act now. The letter calls for a discharge petition: if 218 Members of the House of Representatives agree and sign on, the bill will be moved out of committee and brought to the floor for a vote. TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS REDESIGNATION FOR VENEZUELA: Letter to President Trump, Secretary Mullin, Dept. of Homeland Security, Secretary Rubio, Dept. of State. NAC is part of an organizational letter urging Secretary Mullin of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to re-designate Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for an 18-month designation, as recent events merit reconsideration of country conditions. Reports have shown that there have been no significant changes over the years concerning the human rights situation. Even after U.S. intervention, which ousted Nicolas Maduro from power, Venezuela continues to remain under authoritarianism. In addition, the recent devastating 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that struck the country on June 24 caused a major humanitarian impact and showed the governments lack of coordination, emergency response, and relief efforts. As of July 12, 2026, the USGS reported more than 4,400 persons killed, approximately 16,600 injured, and nearly 30,000 missing. According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the earthquakes caused an estimated $6.7 billion in immediate physical damage. TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS (TPS) FOR EL SALVADOR: NAC was part of this sign-on urging the Department of Homeland Security Secretary to extend the TPS designation for El Salvador before it is scheduled to expire on Sept. 9, 2026. Current conditions in El Salvador do not support a safe return for holders living in the U.S. MEDICARE IMMIGRANT ELIGIBILITY CHANGES: NAC joined the Justice in Aging sign-on letter commenting on the proposed rules implementing H.R. 1 restrictions on Medicare eligibility. The letter outlines key issues and the impact the rule will have on older immigrants, including those who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The letter urges the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to adopt a person-centered equitable approach to the implementation of Medicare eligibility changes presented in the CY 2027 Medicare Physician fee Schedule. Letter directed to Dr. Mehmet Oz, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services. ENDORSEMENT OF TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS (TPS) FOR NEPAL: Letter to President Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, Department of Homeland Security urging TPS for Nepal. Triggered by a massive collapse of glacier ice and rock high in the Himalayas near the Nepal-China border, flooding sent a destructive surge of water, sediment, rock, and debris through downstream communities in Nepal, causing extensive loss of life and widespread destruction. Communities have been displaced, homes and livelihoods have been lost, and critical infrastructure-including roads, bridges, schools, health facilities, and power systems-has been damaged or destroyed. Nepal now faces the immediate work of supporting affected communities and restoring essential services while beginning a substantial reconstruction effort. The letter endorses Congressional leaders call for TPS designation for Nepal. REFUGEE GREEN CARD PROCESSING, RE-VETTING, AND MEDICAID CUTS: NAC joined this letter opposing the ongoing green card processing freeze and refugee \"re-vetting\" efforts. The letter focuses on the interaction between the green card adjudication halt and the coming Medicaid and CHIP eligibility changes that cut off refugees who do not have green cards (including over 149,000 with pending applications). The letter urges DHS and USCIS to immediately resume adjudication of all refugee green card applications, end unnecessary re-vetting of resettled refugees, and establish a channel for members of Congress to request expedited adjudication for applicants facing a loss of medical coverage. PROTECT A FAIR, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE 2030 CENSUS: The U.S. Census Bureau published a proposed regulation that would make significant changes to how the 2030 Decennial Census counts people and collects demographic data. If implemented, the proposed changes would directly impact the people and communities that nonprofits serve every day and undermine the census's ability to provide a fair and accurate count of the people living in America. The proposal would exclude broad categories of people, including international students, H-1B visa holders, refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented people and others, from the population count used to allocate congressional seats and federal funding. The proposed regulation would also eliminate questions on race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, an unprecedented departure from the censuss longstanding practice of collecting critical demographic information. These changes would undercount the number of people living in communities, reducing their access to federal resources and political representation, and they would make it harder to understand changing community needs and address racial, social, and other disparities. ICE SENSITIVE LOCATIONS POLICY IN PLACES OF WORSHIP: Upon request of Muslim Advocates.org, and the National Immigration Law Center, NAC, along with other faith-based organizations were invited to sign on to an amicus brief that discusses the harm of immigration enforcement in places of worship with a focus on anti-Muslim targeting. The brief also situates these harms within the broader pattern of racialized and anti-Muslim national security policies that have historically targeted specific communities and have implications for all immigrant communities. NAC QUOTE IN INTERFAITH IMMIGRATION COALITION PRESS RELEASE ON TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUIS TERMINATION: Fran Eskin-Royer, Executive Director of the National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, said: America opened our arms, recognizing the severity of life in unsafe societies such as Haiti and El Salvador. Life has not improved in these countries. Rather, men, women and children are barely surviving in places like Haiti, overcome with violence and poverty. Now is not the time to end Temporary Protected Status, forcing these innocent individuals and families back to countries in turmoil and crisis. We call on the Trump Administration and U.S. Congress to extend TPS, and, in particular for Haiti, to pass S. 4814 extending TPS for Haitians for three years. STATEMENT FOR UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY HIGH-LEVEL WEEK AND 75TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF THE REFUGEE CONVENTION: NAC joined faith-based organizations in expressing deep concern for ongoing human rights violations experienced by refugees, asylum seekers , and other forcibly displaced people as part of acknowledging the 75th anniversary year. The statement urges all member states to reaffirm their commitment to the Refugee convention and other international human rights instruments, ensuring that dignity, solidarity, protection, and responsibility-sharing remain at the center of responses to forced displacement, upholding the rights of refugees towards a more just, peaceful, and humane world. NAC QUOTE IN INTERFAITH IMMIGRATION COALITION PRESS RELEASE ON PRESIDENTIAL DETERMINATION NUMBER: Fran Eskin-Royer, Executive Director of the National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd: Displacement and fear do not take a holiday; nor do they take a pause for U.S. midterm elections. Americans would be mortified to discover that our great country has only welcomed around 15,000 vetted refugees in the last year - and that over 95% of them are white Afrikaners leaving South Africa. Meanwhile, there are more than 41 million refugees from the rest of the world who purposefully are being prohibited entry or even consideration. What of those escaping Myanmar and Ukraine? What of all the Christians being persecuted and hunted in Nigeria and Sudan? The Trump Administration must fully resume the governments refugee processing and resettlement program, including a nondiscriminatory framework to protect the most at-risk refugees. And, for the love of God, the miserably low cap must be raised dramatically. IMMIGRATION ADVOCACY VISITS (Sept 15): Our Lady of Sorrows Mass, Procession and Advocacy - Advocated for Immigration Principles paralleling the 7 sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. Organized by the Dorothea Project - a group of Catholic women from around the U.S. organized for action around Catholic Social Teaching for the dignity and rights of immigrants and all vulnerable people. .

PROTECT BABIES AND FAMILIES IN FY2027 APPROPRIATIONS: NAC was among the signers of this letter to members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees calling for policy decisions to be grounded in principles that support babies, toddlers, and their families. This letter highlights many programs that could be harmed and must be protected including Head Start and Early Head Start, Child Care and Development Block Grants, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act programs. NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT (NDAA) FISCAL YEAR 2027 (HR 8800): Request for NAC advocates to urge their representatives to vote NO on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027 (HR 8800), unless the SAVE America Act (S 1383), as passed by the House, is removed. HEALTHY START PROGRAM (MATERNAL HEALTH): NAC was part of this sign on from state and national organizations urging Congress to fully fund Healthy Start for FY2027 (from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027). Like previous sign-on letters, this letter was meant to demonstrate the depth of support for Healthy Start across the nation. THE CENSUS PROJECT BUDGET: White House released its initial list of Fiscal Year 2027 funding anomalies. To reflect this unexpected development, the sign-on organizers made some minor edits to a previous Census-related sign-on to Congress; specifically: If the current appropriations process lapses, we urge you to reinforce your commitment to the U.S. Census Bureau by adding the agency to the Administrations requested list of funding anomalies as deliberations regarding the FY 2027 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill continue. NAC was among the signers. PROTECT NUTRITION FOR WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC) THROUGH REMOTE SERVICES LEGISLATIONT: NAC constituents are urging their members of Congress to pass the MODERN WIC Act/21st Century WIC Act (H.R.1464/S. 3842) by including them in the FY 2027 Agriculture Appropriations. These bipartisan, bicameral bills would make permanent the virtual (such as video or telephone) certification/recertification, benefit distribution, nutrition education and breastfeeding support options for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) which are set to expire as early as October 1, 2026. (Until recent years, families were required to have in-person appointments to get certified for, pick up, and reload WIC benefits.) MODERN WIC ACT / 21st Century WIC ACT: (H.R.1464/S. 3842) ACTION ALERT: NAC constituents were asked to advocate for future students and moms by contacting their members of Congress to pass these acts by including them in the FY2027 Agricultural Appropriations. JOINT STATEMENT WITH OTHER CONGREGATIONS ON U.S. COVENANT FOR OUR FUTURE (EFFORT TO REPEAL H.R. 1): Covenant For Our Future is a rising multi faith, multi issue movement mobilizing thousands of leaders across traditions and communities to repeal H.R. 1 (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) and renew the federal governments commitment to justice. NAC is among those that affirmed / signed the Covenant. Our country is facing a convergence of crises-escalating threats to democracy, cuts to healthcare and the social safety net, racist persecution of migrants, fast growing climate impacts, and massive tax breaks for the wealthiest that violate our deepest moral commitments. $1.15 TRILLION PENTAGON BUDGET: NAC was a part of this sign-on letter focused on opposing the $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget. The letter had three main asks: 1.Reject the $1.15 trillion Pentagon topline and oppose any further increase in Pentagon funding for FY 2027, including plus-ups sought through supplemental or reconciliation packages. 2.Protect and invest in programs that make life more affordable for those struggling. Ensure adequate investment in human needs programs, including Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and SNAP, and ensure Pentagon spending does not further eclipse non-defense spending. 3.Refuse to fund unauthorized war, including Iran, Latin America and elsewhere, and invest instead in the true sources of security-diplomacy, peacebuilding, foreign assistance, and nonviolent approaches to human, national, and global security.","foreign_entity_issues":"","lobbyists":[{"lobbyist":{"id":145398,"prefix":"ms","prefix_display":"MS.","first_name":"FRANCES","nickname":"FRAN","middle_name":null,"last_name":"ESKIN-ROYER","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":false}],"government_entities":[{"id":2,"name":"HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES"},{"id":1,"name":"SENATE"}]},{"general_issue_code":"FOR","general_issue_code_display":"Foreign Relations","description":"ADVOCACY FOR CUBA: The Trump administration's policies have pushed Cuba into a full-blown humanitarian crisis, and the signs now point to a possible military escalation. U.S. military planners are reportedly already examining options for action on the island, including an air assault involving thousands of soldiers. The public groundwork is being laid as well: last week, the State Department released a 100-page report casting Cuba as the driving force behind \"far left terrorism\" in the United States. Many observers, including members of Congress, have read it as an effort to manufacture consent for military intervention. NAC and collaborators asked the Senate to address this issue before they recess for summer break. JULY 14 HUMAN TRAFFICKING BRIEFING AND ADVOCACY: NAC helped organize and promote a July 14 briefing for House and Senate staff around two pieces of legislation, the Frederick Douglass TVPRA (H.R. 1144 - Foreign Relations focus) and the Kids Online Safety Act (S. 1748 - Science & Technology focus). The briefing was followed by in person lobby visits on July 14. NAC made visits on the two bills to Rep. Stephen Lynch MA-08, Rep. Gabe Evans CO-08, Rep. David Kustoff TN-08, and Senator Bill Hagerty TN. NAC advocates also did online email advocacy on the two bills on or around July 14. ACCOUNTABILITY FOR BOAT STRIKES ON ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY: The sign-on letter to Congress marked the one-year anniversary (September 2) since the first boat strike in Latin America and urged Congress to adopt an aggressive oversight and accountability agenda to redress these illegal and immoral operations. HOUSE VOTE ON THE CUBA WAR POWER RESOLUTION: NAC joined this letter urging House Democratic leadership to call a vote on a Cuba War Powers Resolution as soon as possible and oppose the White House's illegal oil blockade. Since January 2026, President Trump has declared a functional U.S. blockade on Cuban-bound oil, widely understood to be an illegal act of war under international law. Trump's oil embargo has pushed Cuba to the brink of humanitarian collapse, and a UN panel last week that U.S. sanctions threaten to make Cuba into a \"silent Gaza\". Trump and Secretary Rubio continue to announce new sanctions and interventions in Cuba aimed at fomenting regime change, as well as threaten direct military intervention on the island. ACT TO STOP U.S. GUN TRAFFICKING - ARMAS ACT Action Alert: Constituents of NAC were asked to write to Congress urging their members to co-sponsor the Americas Regional Monitoring of Arms Sales (ARMAS) Act of 2025 (H.R. 6736 / S.3508); this legislation would profoundly impact Latin America and the Caribbean, reducing gun violence, promoting regional stability, and preventing U.S. firearms from contributing to humanitarian crises there. It would effectively stop the illegal flow of U.S. weapons and ammunition to Latin America and the Caribbean. ARMAS Act (Sept 29/30): Coalition of 20+ organizations (incl NAC) advocating for the Americas Regional Monitoring of Arms Sales (ARMAS) Act of 2025 (H.R. 6736 / S.3508); this legislation would profoundly impact Latin America and the Caribbean - particularly Mexico and Haiti, reducing gun violence, promoting regional stability, and preventing U.S. firearms from contributing to humanitarian crises there. Sept 29 included a briefing on the Hill featuring people impacted by gun violence in Haiti and Mexico, and other experts on the regions and legislation. After the briefing advocates took part in a training and heard from additional experts on Haiti and Mexico.

The bill would delay the SNAP benefit cost-share to the states for only ONE year and increase the costs states may have to pay for SNAP.

The bill further states that ERISA fiduciaries must also make decisions regarding the exercise of shareholder rights and proxy voting based on pecuniary factors. 22.H.R.5887 Saving for the Future Act: This legislation establishes a hybrid emergency savings and 401(k)-type government-run program called the Federal Universal Personal Savings Investment Program and creates UP Retirement Accounts for every full-time and part-time worker not covered by an active defined benefit pension plan.

The legislation also requires 401(k) plans with over 100 participants plans must permit participants to elect to receive at least 50 percent of their vested account balance in the form of lifetime income. This requirement does not apply to participants with balances below $200,000. 28.H.R.6729, S.1831 Auto Reenroll Act of 2025: This legislation amends the qualified automatic contribution arrangement (QACA) safe harbor in the tax code for 401(k) plans to allow for automatic periodic reenrollment into the plan. 29.H.R.7185 Home Savings Act: This legislation permits penalty-free withdrawals from a 401(k) account for up to five years when the funds are used for a down payment or closing costs on a primary residence.

Catch-up contributions currently allow individuals over age 50 to contribute above the standard annual retirement plan contribution limit, with even higher limits available for those ages 60 to 63. 33.H.R.8274, S.4292 Improving Retirement for Family Caregivers Act of 2026: Current law limits Roth IRA contributions to the lesser of $7,000 or total annual income. This legislation eliminates the annual income requirement for family caregivers, thus allowing them to contribute to a Roth IRA even if they do not have any income. 34.H.R.8313 Trump Accounts for All Generations Act: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) enacted last year created the Trump Account, which is a new individual tax-preferred savings vehicle for children, with a $1,000 government seed contribution for every child born in the United States from 2025 to 2029.

And it also requires the Department of Labor to formalize and disclose situations in which it is providing adverse assistance which means assistance to plaintiffs lawyers suing ERISA benefit plan sponsors and fiduciaries. 37.H.R.8783, S.4511 Charity Parity Act: Current law allows retirement savers to exclude up to $111,000 in annual gross income to make qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), but only if the funds are donated directly from an IRA. This tax break excludes distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k)s and 403(b)s. So, under current law, individuals must first roll assets into an IRA to make a QCD. The Charity Parity Act would permit direct QCDs from employer-sponsored retirement plans. 38.H.R.8837, S.1840 Retirement Investment in Small Employers (RISE) Act: This legislation raises the floor for the existing $250 per-employee tax credit available to small businesses to create retirement plans, ensuring that all small businesses can receive a tax credit of at least $2,500. The House version of the legislation allows the service provider to claim the tax credit as payment for services that would ordinarily be charged to the employer for starting the plan. 39.H.R.9813, S.5040 A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose limitations on high-income taxpayers with large retirement account balances: This legislation that would prohibit further contributions to a Roth or traditional IRA if the total of an individuals IRA and defined contribution plan vested account balances exceeds $10 million for the prior year. The limit on contributions would only apply to married single taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over $400,000 for the prior year ($425,000 for heads of households, $450,000 for joint filers). 40.H.R.10039, S.5204 SMART Savings Act of 2026: This legislation amends the Internal Revenue Code to exempt individual retirement accounts (IRAs) from the Department of Labors prohibited transaction rules. Although IRAs are generally not ERISA plans, they remain subject to DOL-administered prohibited transaction rules because Congress incorporated those rules into the Internal Revenue Code. 41.S.5507 Savers Match Enhancement Act of 2026: The bill makes the existing Savers Match more generous in the following ways.
