The amount that may be waived is capped
The document says “may not”Who acts: Secretary of Health and Human ServicesHow: statuteSec. 71106 in the PDF
What the document says
“The amount waived under clause (i) for a fiscal year may not exceed an amount equal to the erroneous excess payments for medical assistance described in subparagraph (D)(i)(II) made for such fiscal year that exceed the allowable error rate of 0.03.”
The section adds a new clause (ii) to section 1903(u)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act capping what the Secretary may waive for a fiscal year at the erroneous excess payments described in subparagraph (D)(i)(II) for that year above the allowable error rate of 0.03.
What the document actually says
“The amount waived under clause (i) for a fiscal year may not exceed an amount equal to the erroneous excess payments for medical assistance described in subparagraph (D)(i)(II) made for such fiscal year that exceed the allowable error rate of 0.03.”
That sentence, in plain words
The Secretary may not waive more than a set sum. That sum is the excess payments above the allowed error rate.
What this is about
Waiving means letting the state off the cut. The cap limits how far that can go. It is worked out year by year.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
