…mptions Adds the former foster youth ABAWD exception (7 CFR 273.24(c)(9), added by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 and removed by P.L. 119-21 effective 2025-07-04) to the pre-HR1 branch of meets_snap_abawd_work_requirements, reusing the existing was_in_foster_care input with a new parameterized age threshold (24), mirroring the Medicaid work requirement pattern. Documents the is_snap_abawd_indian_exempt input (7 U.S.C. 2015(o)(3)(F)-(G), IHCIA 25 U.S.C. 1603(13), (28), 1679(a)) as a data-layer gap defaulting to false; the post-HR1 hook and tests landed in PolicyEngine#8372.

What this does
#8864 — Former foster youth exemption (pre-HR1 only)
The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 added an ABAWD exception for individuals aged 24 or younger who were in foster care under State responsibility on their 18th birthday — 7 CFR 273.24(c)(9), in force September 2023 until removed by P.L. 119-21 (OBBBA) effective 2025-07-04 (confirmed removed by the FNS ABAWD Exceptions Implementation Memorandum, Oct 3, 2025).
was_in_foster_careperson-level boolean input (default false), mirroring the Medicaid work requirement implementation (medicaid_work_requirement_eligible), which uses the same input for the OBBBA former foster care exemption.gov/usda/snap/work_requirements/abawd/age_threshold/former_foster_care.yaml(24, effective 2023-09-01), read via the existingparameters("2025-06-01")pre-HR1 snapshot so it only applies in the pre-HR1 branch (including CA's delayed adoption through 2026-05-31).#8865 — Indian, Urban Indian, and California Indian exemption (post-HR1 only)
The rules hook for 7 U.S.C. 2015(o)(3)(F)–(G) (P.L. 119-21, 139 STAT. 81-82; IHCIA definitions at 25 U.S.C. 1603(13), (28) and 1679(a)) already landed in #8372:
is_snap_abawd_indian_exemptis ORed into the post-HR1 conditions only, with tests covering post-HR1 exemption and pre-HR1 no-effect (Cases 24–25). This PR completes the issue by documenting the input as a data-layer gap: survey data (CPS) have no tribal enrollment measure, so the input defaults to false pending populace imputation, and remains settable in household simulations.Data dependency
Both inputs are data-layer gaps: survey identification of former foster youth and IHCIA Indian status is populace work. The rules hooks exist regardless for calculator use and an explicit assumption surface.
Tests
New Cases 33–35 in
meets_snap_abawd_work_requirements.yaml:IHCIA Indian coverage (exempt post-HR1, no effect pre-HR1) exists as Cases 24–25.
Note: the new monthly test cases key year-defined inputs by calendar year (e.g.
age: {2025: 24}) because non-January monthly periods otherwise trip a period-parsing error in core's input storage.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
