Summary

Backdates Colorado AND-CS (Aid to the Needy Disabled - Colorado Supplement) parameters to 2002 and expands test coverage.
Closes #7795

Changes

  • Parameters backdated: 2 files, 18 new date entries added to grant_standard.yaml (2002-2022)
  • age_range.yaml: Backdated from 2023 to 2002 (same eligibility: ages 0-59, blind or disabled)
  • Tests expanded: From 8 to 19 test cases covering historical periods (2002, 2005, 2009, 2012, 2014), boundary conditions, and edge cases
  • References updated: Added SSA State Assistance Report citations and Colorado CCR 9 CCR 2503-5 section references

Program Details

Colorado's AND-CS grant standard equals the combined SSI + state supplement amount for the "living independently" category:

  • 2002-2004: FBR + $37 SSP (e.g., $545 + $37 = $582 in 2002)
  • 2005-2011: FBR + $25 SSP (e.g., $674 + $25 = $699 in 2009)
  • 2012+: Grant standard = FBR only (state supplement eliminated for this category)

Regulatory Sources

Needs Human Decision

  • 2003 grant standard ($589) is interpolated — no SSA report found for that year. FBR was $552, SSP likely $37 (same as 2002/2004).
  • 2012-2013 transition: unclear exactly when Colorado dropped the $25 SSP. Currently using FBR-only ($698/$710).
  • Couple amounts not modeled — current implementation is individual-only. SSA reports show couple SSP was $339-$387 (2002-2011).

Test Plan

  • All 12 co_state_supplement tests pass (verified via Simulation API)
  • 7 co_state_supplement_eligible tests properly formatted
  • CI pipeline validation
