Related to #1178

Version Updates

Package Old Version New Version
policyengine_us 1.687.0 1.691.1

What Changed (policyengine_us 1.687.0 → 1.691.1)

Added

  • Add Washington Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax Exemption Program, including ESSB 6162 (2026) provisions effective for taxes levied for collection in 2027 and thereafter.
  • Add Census SPM weekly work-expense parameters and formulas for work and childcare expense caps.
  • Add an SPM unit geographic adjustment input and use it to calculate SPM thresholds.
  • Added an explicit Trustees federal income tax parameter reform for long-run TOB analysis scenarios.

Changed

  • Support legacy per-fuel expense inputs as fallbacks in DC, MA, and IL LIHEAP formulas.
  • Made SPM geographic adjustments formulaic from congressional district and tenure instead of backing them out from stored thresholds.

Fixed

  • Fixed SNAP categorical eligibility so SSI only qualifies a multi-person SPM unit when all members receive SSI.
  • Net Medicare Part B premiums in baseline SPM expenses against cycle-free Medicare Savings Program coverage, preserve reported premiums as an audit input, and stop treating reported health insurance premiums as pre-tax wage deductions in federal AGI.
  • Fix New York and elderly/disabled SNAP BBCE gross income limits.
  • Fix WIC income eligibility to use the July-June WIC income guideline year.
  • Fix ACA Premium Tax Credit and Basic Health Program eligibility for lawfully present immigrants who are ineligible for Medicaid due to immigration status, including Medicaid five-year-bar cases.
  • Fix SPM childcare earnings cap projection for datasets with multiple SPM units.
  • Fix ACA family-tier premium calculations for older dependents in New York and Vermont.
