“provide that the State shall comply with the eligibility verification requirements under subsection (ww), except that this paragraph shall apply only in the case of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.”
The section inserts a new paragraph (89) into section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a) requiring a State plan to provide that the State follows the new eligibility verification requirements, which apply only to the 50 States and the District of Columbia and begin January 1, 2027.
What the document actually says
“provide that the State shall comply with the eligibility verification requirements under subsection (ww), except that this paragraph shall apply only in the case of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.”
That sentence, in plain words
The state must follow the new checking rules. Those rules sit in a new subsection. Only the 50 states and the capital are covered.
What this is about
Territories are left out of this rule. The checks begin on January 1, 2027. The older law it sits in is not indexed here.

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.
