SEC. 10. STUDY ON TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

    (a) Study.--
            (1) In general.--Because access to transportation services 
        is critical for millions of older individuals in the United 
        States, to allow them to maintain independence, health, and 
        quality of life, the Comptroller General of the United States 
        shall conduct a study of transportation services for older 
        individuals.
            (2) Contents.--In conducting the study, the Comptroller 
        General--
                    (A) shall identify challenges and barriers 
                affecting the aging network in providing, accessing, or 
                coordinating efficient and effective transportation 
                services, including challenges and barriers in 
                coordinating services with Federal agencies and 
                programs such as the Department of Transportation and 
                the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social 
                Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.); and
                    (B) shall examine any Federal program requirements 
                that may result in challenges or barriers to the 
                coordination of transportation services within the 
                aging network at the local level.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Comptroller General shall issue a report. The report 
shall contain a detailed description of the findings and conclusions of 
the study, including any recommendations for administrative and other 
changes to enhance transportation services provided by the aging 
network. The Comptroller General shall submit the report to the 
Committee on Education and the Workforce of the House of

SEC. 11. GUIDANCE ON SERVING HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS.

    (a) In General.--Because the services under the Older Americans Act 
of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.) are critical to meeting the urgent 
needs of Holocaust survivors to age in place with dignity, comfort, 
security, and quality of life, the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall 
issue guidance to States, that shall be applicable to States, area 
agencies on aging, and providers of services for older individuals, 
with respect to serving Holocaust survivors, including guidance on 
promising practices for conducting outreach to that population. In 
developing the guidance, the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall 
consult with experts and organizations serving Holocaust survivors, and 
shall take into account the possibility that the needs of Holocaust 
survivors may differ based on geography.
    (b) Contents.--The guidance shall include the following:
            (1) How nutrition service providers may meet the special 
        health-related or other dietary needs of participants in 
        programs under the Older Americans Act of 1965, including needs 
        based on religious, cultural, or ethnic requirements.
            (2) How transportation service providers may address the 
        urgent transportation needs of Holocaust survivors.
            (3) How State long-term care ombudsmen may address the 
        unique needs of residents of long-term care facilities for whom 
        institutional settings may produce sights, sounds, smells, 
        emotions, and routines, that can induce panic, anxiety, and 
        retraumatization as a result of experiences from the Holocaust.
            (4) How supportive services providers may consider the 
        unique needs of Holocaust survivors.
            (5) How other services provided under that Act, as 
        determined by the Assistant Secretary for Aging, may serve 
        Holocaust survivors.
    (c) Date of Issuance.--The guidance described in subsection (a) 
shall be issued not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act.
