The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of Veterans AffairsHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The Secretary shall carry out, on a random-sampling basis, post-payment audits to ensure compliance with all requirements described in clause (i).”
The same inserted subparagraph requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to run audits after payment, on a random sample, to check that the certifications were accurate.
What the document actually says
“The Secretary shall carry out, on a random-sampling basis, post-payment audits to ensure compliance with all requirements described in clause (i).”
That sentence, in plain words
The VA must check some payments later. It picks them at random.
What this is about
The check comes after the money goes out. Not every payment gets checked. The VA picks some by chance.

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.
