Summary

Ruthie and Connie LGBT Elder Americans Act of 2019 This bill addresses matters related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals in certain federal programs serving older Americans. It includes an individual's LGBT status within the scope of the greatest social needs served by such programs. In addition, an LGBT individual shall be considered a minority for purposes of such programs and services for older adults. Among other activities, the Administration on Aging must (1) establish the National Resource Center on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Aging to provide eligible organizations with information and technical assistance to effectively serve older LGBT individuals; and (2) collect data and report on the extent and effectiveness of services provided to older LGBT individuals. The administration may designate within it a person with responsibility for addressing issues affecting LGBT older individuals. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman of each state must collect and analyze data related to discrimination against LGBT older individuals in long-term care settings.
