Backdate and verify 2017-2019 state SSI supplement values (MI, MO, NM)#8921
Merged
Conversation
Verifies the backdated 2017-2019 state SSI/SSP values already encoded for Michigan, Missouri, and New Mexico against the SSA annual "State Assistance Programs for SSI Recipients" reports, and pins them with per-year tests for use as Axiom migration oracle baselines. - MI: individual living-independently supplement $14/month (flat since 2011, verified against SSA Jan 2011 Table 1 and confirmed unchanged 2017-2019). - MO: Supplemental Nursing Care RCF Level I grant $156 + $50 PNA; Supplemental Aid to the Blind top-up $0 in 2017-2019 because the $510 SAB maximum was below the federal SSI benefit rate ($735-$771). - NM: flat $100/month ($1,200/year) adult-residential-care supplement. No parameter changes were required: the existing effective-date entries (MI 2016-01-01, MO 2011-01-01/2000-07-01, NM 2004-07-01) already return the correct 2017-2019 values.

Summary
Accuracy-lane backdating of state SSI supplement / SSP parameters for 2017-2019, so these years serve as reliable oracle baselines for the Axiom migration. This PR addresses benccann's 10-issue series (#8829, #8827, #8812, #8767, #8766, #8765, #8764, #8695, #8689, #8568).
The three states with an existing SSI/SSP program in the model (MI, MO, NM) already carry effective-date entries that reach back before 2017, so their 2017-2019 values were already present and correct. This PR verifies each against the SSA annual State Assistance Programs for SSI Recipients reports and pins the living-independently individual rate for each backdated year with new tests. No parameter values needed to change.
The remaining seven issues concern states with no SSI/SSP program in the model at all. Adding their values would require building new variables/programs, which is out of scope for a parameters-only accuracy pass. These are documented and skipped below for a follow-up program-implementation task.
