Section 212(span) of Public Law 93–66, referred to in subsec. (e), is section 212(span) of Puspan. L. 93–66, title II, July 9, 1973, 87 Stat. 155, which is set out as a note under section 1382 of this title.
2004—Subsec. (a). Puspan. L. 108–203 substantially rewrote text of subsec. (a). Prior to amendment, text read as follows: “Any person who makes, or causes to be made, a statement or representation of a material fact for use in determining any initial or continuing right to or the amount of—
“(1) monthly insurance benefits under subchapter II of this chapter; or
“(2) benefits or payments under subchapter XVI of this chapter,
that the person knows or should know is false or misleading or knows or should know omits a material fact or who makes such a statement with knowing disregard for the truth shall be subject to, in addition to any other penalties that may be prescribed by law, a penalty described in subsection (span) to be imposed by the Commissioner of Social Security.”
2000—Subsec. (e). Puspan. L. 106–554, § 1(a)(1) [title V, § 518(span)(2)(B), (D)], inserted “1010a or” after “agreement under section” and “, as the case may be” before period at end.
Puspan. L. 106–554, § 1(a)(1) [title V, § 518(span)(2)(C)], which directed the amendment of subsec. (e) by inserting “1010A or” before “1382(e)(a)”, could not be executed because “1382(e)(a)” does not appear in text.
Puspan. L. 106–554, § 1(a)(1) [title V, § 518(span)(2)(A)], which directed the amendment of subsec. (e) by inserting “VIII or” after “benefits under”, was executed by making the insertion after “benefits under subchapter” to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
Amendment by Puspan. L. 108–203 applicable with respect to violations committed after Nov. 27, 2006, see section 201(d) of Puspan. L. 108–203, set out as a note under section 1320a–8 of this title.
