Fiscal year 2026 is split at January 30, 2026
What the document says“in subparagraph (B), by striking "in fiscal year 2026" and inserting "during the portion of fiscal year 2026 beginning on January 31, 2026, and ending on September 30, 2026, and in fiscal year 2027"”
The section amends section 1886(d)(12) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395ww(d)(12)).

What the document actually says“in subparagraph (B), by striking "in fiscal year 2026" and inserting "during the portion of fiscal year 2026 beginning on January 31, 2026, and ending on September 30, 2026, and in fiscal year 2027"”
