What the document says
“by striking ``For the period beginning April 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025, and for'' and inserting ``For''”
Subsection (1) amends clause (i) of section 1923(f)(7)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396r-4(f)(7)(A)), taking the half year that began April 1, 2025 out of the schedule of cuts, and striking the words 'or period' from subclauses (I) and (II).
What the document actually says
“by striking ``For the period beginning April 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025, and for'' and inserting ``For''”
That sentence, in plain words
The words naming that half year are taken out. The word For is put in their place.
What this is about
A cut had been set to begin on April 1, 2025. That start is dropped. What is left is a schedule that runs by whole years.
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.

What the document says
“by striking ``through 2027'' and inserting ``through 2028''”
The section replaces the last year of the cut schedule in both clause (i) and clause (ii) of section 1923(f)(7)(A) of the Social Security Act, moving it from fiscal year 2027 to fiscal year 2028.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``through 2027'' and inserting ``through 2028''”
That sentence, in plain words
The words through 2027 are taken out. The words through 2028 are put in.
What this is about
The cuts had a last year. That last year moves out by one. So the run of cuts is one year longer.

What the document says
“by striking ``for the period beginning April 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025, and''”
Subsection (2) makes the matching change in clause (ii) of section 1923(f)(7)(A) of the Social Security Act, striking the same half year.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``for the period beginning April 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025, and''”
That sentence, in plain words
The words naming that half year are taken out of the second clause.
What this is about
The law says the same thing twice, once in each clause. Both clauses have to match. So the same words come out of both.
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.
Both clauses the section amends, and the change of the last year the cuts run through.
The small edits that strike the words 'or period' from two subclauses, which follow from the main change.
The section works by amending the Social Security Act. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say how large the cuts are or how they are shared out among the states.
