CO OAP grant standard equals the federal SSI benefit rate instead of the state standard #8833

Description

@PavelMakarchuk

gov.states.co.ssa.state_supplement.grant_standard carries 943 (2024) and 967 (2025) — exactly the federal SSI benefit rate for those years. Colorado's Old Age Pension total grant standard is set by state rule above the FBR: 9 CCR 2503-5 § 3.530 sets the total monthly OAP grant standard at $1,032 effective January 1, 2026 (with a maximum monthly in-kind support and maintenance shelter deduction of $351 and a payment floor of $189).

Because the OAP grant is the state standard minus countable income (which includes any SSI), setting the parameter to the FBR understates the state supplement for OAP recipients.

Found by the Axiom oracle comparison (axiom-oracles co-state-supplement suite, https://axiom-oracles.vercel.app): Axiom encodes $1,032 from 9 CCR 2503-5 § 3.530 vs PE 967 at 2026-01-01.
