SUMMARY:
The LeadingAge CAST case study “Three Years, Countless Efficiencies: How FellowshipLIFE Modernized Care with AI” describes how FellowshipLIFE, a New Jersey–based nonprofit provider of senior living and healthcare services, implemented artificial intelligence and intelligent automation to improve operations, compliance, and service delivery across its communities.
According to the case study, FellowshipLIFE operates life plan communities and related services dedicated to helping older adults live purposeful, engaged lives through programs focused on wellness, lifelong learning, and high-quality care. Seeking to modernize internal operations while preserving its resident-centered mission, the organization partnered with the technology firm NuAIg to develop a data driven digital transformation strategy.
The initiative began with a comprehensive assessment of FellowshipLIFE’s operational processes, many of which relied heavily on manual workflows and fragmented data systems. By creating an AI and automation “Center of Excellence,” the organization identified high-impact opportunities for modernization, particularly in compliance monitoring, administrative workflows, billing and revenue analysis, and resident intake processes.

SUMMARY:
Chairman Valadao, Ranking Member Espaillat, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to present the Congressional Budget Office’s budget request.

Congressional Budget Office — Immigrant Earnings Assimilation, 1981–2021 (Report No. 62202, March 2026)

Using several decades of census and survey data, the CBO examines the economic process known as “earnings assimilation”, the extent to which immigrants’ wages increase with time spent in the U.S. labor market.
After the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in Tehran, a temporary council has taken over the leadership of the nation. Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said March 1 that the new leadership council “has begun its work.” U.S. President Donald Trump has called on the people of Iran to rise up against the regime, explicitly tying U.S. interests in the region to regime change and preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. The commission taking over control of the nation in the midst of its war against two global superpowers is a short-term stopgap. Ultimately, a new leader will be selected by clerics within the state’s theocratic constitution.
