An agency holding a cooperative arrangement is to be notified of the error
The document says “requires”Who acts: Commissioner of Social SecurityHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“notify any agency that has a cooperative arrangement with the Commissioner of Social Security under paragraph (3) or (11) of the error”
Added as subparagraph (C) at the end of section 205(r)(7) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 405(r)(7)), which was itself added by section 801(a)(4) of title VIII of division FF of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260). The subparagraph reaches an agency that has a cooperative arrangement with the Commissioner of Social Security under paragraph (3) or paragraph (11), and it is that agency that is to be notified of the error. This Act does not state what the rest of paragraph (7) provides or what the error there refers to.
What the document actually says
“notify any agency that has a cooperative arrangement with the Commissioner of Social Security under paragraph (3) or (11) of the error”
That sentence, in plain words
Some offices have a deal with Social Security. When there is a mistake, they must be told.
What this is about
The heading of this part names the problem. It is about people wrongly listed as dead. This law adds one line to an older law. It does not say what the rest of that part asks for.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

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.
