What the document says
“and for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2026, the applicable percent determined under subparagraph (D) shall be substituted for `6 percent' each place it appears”
The section amends section 1903(w)(4)(C)(ii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396b(w)(4)) so that from fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2026 a new applicable percent replaces the fixed 6 percent wherever it appears.
What the document actually says
“and for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2026, the applicable percent determined under subparagraph (D) shall be substituted for `6 percent' each place it appears”
That sentence, in plain words
A new figure takes over from October 1, 2026. It stands in for 6 percent. That holds wherever those words appear.
What this is about
The new figure is worked out under a new rule. That rule differs by kind of state. 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, 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.
