The state must begin spending before January 1, 2026
What the document says“begins to expend amounts for all such individuals prior to January 1, 2026.”
The section adds a new subparagraph (B) to section 1905(ii)(3) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(ii)(3)) requiring the State to have begun spending for all such individuals before January 1, 2026.
What the document actually says“begins to expend amounts for all such individuals prior to January 1, 2026.”
The state must have started spending on all such people. That must have begun before January 1, 2026.
A state that starts later does not qualify. The bonus match is closed to it. The older law it sits in is not indexed here.
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.
