What the document says
“and, in addition, $4,789,731,000, which shall become available on October 1, 2026, and remain available through September 30, 2028”
The advance appropriation in the Indian health services account. The money is appropriated by this Act but does not become available until October 1, 2026, the start of the following fiscal year, and stays available through September 30, 2028. Advance appropriation is what lets the service keep operating if a later year's appropriations act is delayed.
What the document actually says
“and, in addition, $4,789,731,000, which shall become available on October 1, 2026, and remain available through September 30, 2028”
That sentence, in plain words
This sets aside $4,789,731,000 for a later date. It can be used from October 1, 2026. It lasts until September 30, 2028.
What this is about
Most money in this law is for this year. This sum is for next year. It is agreed now so clinics do not close if a later bill is late.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
