Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided a compilation of GAO products from calendar years 1995 and 1996 on programs and issues affecting older Americans and their families.
GAO noted that: (1) its work on these programs reflects the broad range and importance of federal programs for older Americans; (2) some federal programs, such as Social Security and Medicare, are directed primarily at older Americans; (3) other federal programs, such as Medicaid or federal housing programs, target older Americans as one of several groups served; and (4) GAO's work during calendar years 1995 and 1996 covered issues concerning education and employment, health care, housing and community development, income security, and veterans.
