Several private pension reforms were also introduced to grant widows the right to receive benefits if their spouses died before retirement. In 1989. I introduced two bills that were included in the EEA. The first bill. the marriage fraud amendments. addressed the rights of battered spouses in immigration cases. That bill allowed a battered or mentally abused spouse to file for American citizenship without the concurrence of his or her American partner. Another provision in the 1989 EEA package. entitled "LongTerm Care Volunteers." amended the Older Americans Act to authorL. a demonstration project which allowed senior citizen volunteers to work as aides in nursing homes.
