What the document says
“in subparagraph (B), by striking ``during the portion of fiscal year 2026 beginning on January 31, 2026, and ending on September 30, 2026, and in fiscal year 2027'' and inserting ``during the portion of fiscal year 2027 beginning on January 1, 2027, and ending on September 30, 2027, and in fiscal year 2028'';”
Section 6201 amends section 1886(d)(12) of the Social Security Act in six places. Each amendment moves a date range forward by about one year, so that periods that ran through fiscal year 2025 or into January 2026 now run through fiscal year 2026 or into December 2026 or later.
What the document actually says
“in subparagraph (B), by striking ``during the portion of fiscal year 2026 beginning on January 31, 2026, and ending on September 30, 2026, and in fiscal year 2027'' and inserting ``during the portion of fiscal year 2027 beginning on January 1, 2027, and ending on September 30, 2027, and in fiscal year 2028'';”
That sentence, in plain words
Cross out the words naming part of 2026 and the year after. Write in words that name part of 2027 and the year after that.
What this is about
A hospital with few patients gets extra pay under this rule. The rule was set to end. Moving the dates keeps it going.

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.
