A bipartisan pair of senators sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), urging them to include funding for seniors to be reimbursed for money lost due to COVID scams.

Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, are spearheading bipartisan legislation, Edith’s Bill, to protect seniors who have been cheated out of money in COVID-related scams, to get paid back.
