What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: strike January 31, 2026 and insert January 1, 2027 in section 1848(e)(1)(E) of the Social Security Act.

Nothing else. The section is a single sentence.

The section amends the Social Security Act, which is not indexed here, so what the work geographic index floor does is not recorded on this site.
