What the document says
“in clause (iii), by striking ``the period beginning on January 31, 2026, and ending on December 31, 2026, and for each of 2027 and 2028'' and inserting ``each of 2027 through 2029''.”
Subsection (a) of section 6226 amends section 1834A(b)(3) of the Social Security Act. It strikes 2028 and inserts 2029 in subparagraph (A), replaces the 2025 and early 2026 period with 2026 in clause (ii), and replaces the 2026 period and 2027 and 2028 with each of 2027 through 2029 in clause (iii).
What the document actually says
“in clause (iii), by striking ``the period beginning on January 31, 2026, and ending on December 31, 2026, and for each of 2027 and 2028'' and inserting ``each of 2027 through 2029''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Cross out the words naming part of 2026 and two later years. Write in words naming each of 2027 through 2029.
What this is about
A phase-in brings a payment change in over several years. Moving the years moves when each step falls.

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.
