I want to thank the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, the Children's Advocacy Institute, and the Older Youth Working Group for hosting this briefing and focusing attention on the need to ensure that older foster youth receive and benefit from all the Social Security and Veterans benefits for which they qualify.

The restaurant industry has been uniquely devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. More than one in six restaurants have permanently closed and millions are out of work, but help is here.
The American Rescue Plan Act provided a lifeline to local restaurants through the $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund that was based on my RESTAURANTS Act. This funding will become available in a matter of days and I encourage you to utilize this opportunity for federal funding.
