'Would be a complete disaster': Key senior assistance could be eliminated because of DOGE

Services used by 2.4 million seniors in the United States could evaporate because of Elon Musk’s DOGE. USA Today reports, layoffs hit roughly “40% of the staff at the Administration for Community Living,” which is the agency that administers and supports Meals on Wheels.

The primary source of funding for the program comes from the federal government via the “Older Americans Act.” "There are a lot of question marks right now," Josh Protas, chief advocacy and policy officer at Meals on Wheels America, told the outlet.
