You're on your second pass through the same paragraph, and nothing is landing. That's the moment for the out-loud stop.

Turn the page over so you can't keep reading it. Then say out loud, in plain words, what it's asking of you and what you're supposed to do about it. Keep going until you stop. Where you stop, write down what you couldn't say as a question, like which of two dates is the actual deadline. That question is now the task.

Stopping on the first sentence is a good sign. Expect one question, sometimes two. If it involves money, coverage, or something you can't undo, take your question to whoever's job it is to answer it. You don't have to understand the whole document. You just have to know what to ask.
