What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: continue the named activities through December 31, 2026 in the manner authorized for fiscal year 2025, and appropriate the sums necessary.

Nothing else. The section is a single sentence.

The section names part A of title IV of the Social Security Act and section 1108(b) of that Act, with two exceptions. That Act is not indexed here, so what those activities are is not recorded on this site.
