The committee also oversees federal programs including Medicare, Social Security, and elder abuse prevention through regular hearings and policy recommendations according to the official website.
Rick Scott serves as chair while Kirsten Gillibrand is ranking member of the committee according to the official website. The committee's oversight extends nationwide across all Americans in aging-related federal programs according to the official website.
