A state with a very high error rate starts a year or two later
What the document says“If, for fiscal year 2025, the payment error rate of a State multiplied by 1.5 is equal to or above 20 percent, the implementation date under clause (i) for that State shall be fiscal year 2029.”
The section provides that a State whose fiscal year 2025 payment error rate multiplied by 1.5 is at or above 20 percent does not start paying a share until fiscal year 2029, and a State whose fiscal year 2026 payment error rate multiplied by 1.5 is at or above 20 percent does not start until fiscal year 2030.
What the document actually says“If, for fiscal year 2025, the payment error rate of a State multiplied by 1.5 is equal to or above 20 percent, the implementation date under clause (i) for that State shall be fiscal year 2029.”
Take the state's 2025 error rate and multiply it by 1.5. If that is 20 percent or more, the state starts in 2029.
The same test is run on the 2026 rate. A state that fails that one starts in 2030. Other states start in 2028.
