The first year of the inflation rise is capped by the price index
What the document says“The increase under subparagraph (A) for the 2026 reinsurance year shall not exceed the percentage change for the preceding reinsurance year included in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor.”
The section caps the first inflation increase, for the 2026 reinsurance year, at the percentage change for the preceding reinsurance year in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor.
What the document actually says“The increase under subparagraph (A) for the 2026 reinsurance year shall not exceed the percentage change for the preceding reinsurance year included in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor.”
The rise for the 2026 year has a ceiling. It may not top the change in a price index. That index is kept by the labor agency.
The index tracks what city shoppers pay. The change from the year before is used. Later years are not capped this way.
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.
