Conversation
…able Adds 2026-07-01 amounts to tier_1/2/3.yaml from IM-4(PRM) (07-26), with an archived reference snapshot, and 2027-period tests covering all three tiers. Fixes #9129 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Missouri's Appendix E chart sets each premium tier boundary at the FPL percentage converted to monthly dollars and rounded up to the next whole dollar, with incomes at the published boundary falling in the lower tier. Replaces the exact income-to-FPL ratio comparison, moves the hardcoded 1.50/1.85/2.25 fractions into parameters, and adds boundary tests at the published family-of-2 amounts.

All four Appendix E vintages (04-20, 07-24, 07-25, 07-26) publish amounts for family sizes 1-12; the encoding previously capped at 8. Sizes 13+ now take the size-12 amount, matching the chart's "13+ available upon request" cutoff. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The Appendix E chart keys both its income ranges and premium amounts on the MAGI household size, which counts children a pregnant member is expected to deliver; the amount lookup previously used plain tax_unit_size while the boundaries were pregnancy-adjusted. Adds pregnancy boundary tests, drops the not-yet-indexed 07-26 archive reference links, and declares period metadata on the fpl_floor parameters.

The unborn child counts only in the pregnant member's own MAGI household; the CHIP child's household counts a pregnant member as one person (DSS manual 1885.010.00 example), so both chart columns use the plain tax unit size. The pregnancy-adjusted FPG is still used to recover dollar income from tax_unit_medicaid_income_level, whose denominator counts expected children.

Fixes #9130
Regulatory authority
The ceiling rule is verified against all published boundaries (sizes 1–12) in the July 2025 and July 2026 charts (e.g., family of 2 at 185%: raw $3,336.17 → chart $3,337.00; family of 8 at 185% in 2025: raw $8,348.125 → chart $8,349.00, ruling out nearest-dollar rounding; exact whole dollars like $1,995.00 stay unchanged).
