What the document says
“Section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking "becomes 60 years of age" and inserting "attains an age determined by the Board, which shall be not less than 57 years of age and not more than 62 years of age".”
Subsection (a). It amends section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, replacing the words "becomes 60 years of age" with words that make the age one determined by the Board, no lower than 57 and no higher than 62. The struck and inserted words are the ones quoted.
What the document actually says
“Section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking "becomes 60 years of age" and inserting "attains an age determined by the Board, which shall be not less than 57 years of age and not more than 62 years of age".”
That sentence, in plain words
This part crosses out the words "becomes 60 years of age." It writes in new words. The new words say a board picks the age. The age must be at least 57. It can be no more than 62.
What this is about
The change is made to one part of a big book of federal law. That part is about an old plan that pays workers after they stop working. The plan is known as CSRS.

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.
