What the document says
“(1) in clause (i), by striking "10 months" and inserting "11 months"; and (2) in clause (ii), by striking "2 months" and inserting "1 month".”
The section amends section 251A(6)(D) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 901a(6)(D)), which divides a fiscal year into two parts for the purpose of the Medicare sequester. One month moves from the second part to the first.
What the document actually says
“(1) in clause (i), by striking "10 months" and inserting "11 months"; and (2) in clause (ii), by striking "2 months" and inserting "1 month".”
That sentence, in plain words
Ten months becomes eleven months. Two months becomes one month.
What this is about
An old law splits the year in two for these cuts. This law moves the line between the halves by one month.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
