What the document says
“that if, at the time of relocation (as described in subsection (yy)(1)), such active duty relocated individual is on a home and community-based services waiting list (as defined in subsection (yy)(2)), such individual remains on such list until--”
The new paragraph requires that a person who was on a home and community-based services waiting list when relocated stays on that list, until the State completes an assessment and decides on eligibility when a slot opens and, if denied, the person has exhausted the opportunity for a fair hearing, or until the person elects to be removed.
What the document actually says
“that if, at the time of relocation (as described in subsection (yy)(1)), such active duty relocated individual is on a home and community-based services waiting list (as defined in subsection (yy)(2)), such individual remains on such list until--”
That sentence, in plain words
Say the person was on a wait list for care at home when the move came. That person stays on the list.
What this is about
Care at home is help with daily life so a person need not live in a nursing home. States cap how many can get it. So there are wait lists, and they can be long.

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.
