What the document says
“complete a review of how the amount specified in section 1967(a)(3)(A)(i) compares to the amount described in subsection (b)”
Paragraph (1) of the new section 1980B(a). The review falls due on January 1, 2026, and every five years thereafter. What it compares is the amount specified in section 1967(a)(3)(A)(i) of title 38 against the amount the new section works out in its subsection (b). This Act does not state what section 1967(a)(3)(A)(i) specifies.
What the document actually says
“complete a review of how the amount specified in section 1967(a)(3)(A)(i) compares to the amount described in subsection (b)”
That sentence, in plain words
The VA must look at one number. It must see how that number stacks up against a second number.
What this is about
The first look is due on January 1, 2026. After that, one is due every five years. The first number is set in an older law. The second number is worked out later in this part.
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.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
