What the document says
“Section 1905(v)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(v)(1)(A)) is amended by striking ``, but less than 65,''.”
Section 6102 strikes the phrase but less than 65 in two places: in subclause (XV) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act, and in section 1905(v)(1)(A) of that Act.
What the document actually says
“Section 1905(v)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(v)(1)(A)) is amended by striking ``, but less than 65,''.”
That sentence, in plain words
In one part of the Social Security Act, cross out four words: but less than 65.
What this is about
The old words set a top age. With them gone, the age cap is gone. The heading names working adults with a disability.

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.
