That sentence, in plain words

The VA must also give those groups a talk every 60 days. The talk must say how the deal is coming along.

What this is about

This keeps on until the deal is done. It starts on the day the deal is late.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
