To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 100204

The section bars the Attorney General from finding the requirements met unless the claimant submits contemporaneous written residential documentation plus at least one further employer-issued or government-issued document, or other documentation the Attorney General accepts, showing at least 2 years of presence in an affected area after January 1, 1949. Presence counts where the claimant's main home, place of work or school was in the area. The claimant must also submit contemporaneous written medical records or reports, or other documentation the Attorney General accepts, showing they contracted a specified disease after that presence.

What the document actually says

“the claimant's primary residence was in the affected area;”

That sentence, in plain words

One way to count is where a person lived. Their main home must be in the area.

What this is about

Work or school in the area counts too. Papers must show it. More papers must show the illness came later.

How to Read This Page

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.
