Proclamation 10715

Care Workers Recognition Month, 2024

This proclamation designates April 2024 as Care Workers Recognition Month, honoring caregivers for children, elderly, and people with disabilities. It highlights the Biden Administration's past and proposed investments in the care economy, including American Rescue Plan funding, an executive order directing agency actions, and budget proposals for child care and military family caregiving, but creates no new binding policy itself.
