Apply SNAP work-requirement disqualifications per-person (7 CFR 273.7(f)(1))

[PavelMakarchuk]

Closes #8139.

Summary

Replace the SPM-unit-wide aggregation in `meets_snap_work_requirements` with a per-person aggregation (`spm_unit.any` instead of `spm_unit.sum(~x) == 0`), so a single non-compliant member no longer denies the entire SNAP unit.

Regulatory basis

• 7 CFR § 273.7(f)(1) (general work requirement): "A nonexempt individual who refuses or fails without good cause to comply with SNAP work requirements is ineligible to participate in SNAP." — individual disqualification.
• 7 CFR § 273.24(b) (ABAWD time limit): "Individuals are not eligible to participate in SNAP as a member of any household if the individual received SNAP benefits for more than three countable months..." — individual disqualification; ABAWD has no HoH option.
• 7 CFR § 273.7(f)(5): narrow state option to disqualify the entire household when the HoH fails general work requirements, bounded to ≤180 days. Per the USDA SNAP State Options Report, 16th Edition (June 2024, p. 20), elected by only 8 jurisdictions: AZ, FL, MA, MN, MS, TX, VA, VI.

What changed

Before:

return spm_unit.sum(~meets_work_requirements_person) == 0

All members must pass → any single failure denies the whole unit. This matched no jurisdiction.

After:

return spm_unit.any(meets_work_requirements_person)

Unit is eligible as long as at least one member meets requirements or is exempt. Matches the default rule in the 45 non-electing jurisdictions exactly.

Why this is the right first pass

Per the issue's analysis, the prior behavior over-applied § 273.7(f)(5) across four dimensions simultaneously — trigger (any member vs. HoH), requirement type (both general + ABAWD vs. general only), state coverage (all vs. 8), duration (permanent vs. ≤180 days). The `any` aggregation fixes the 45 non-electing jurisdictions exactly and substantially reduces over-denial in the 8 electing jurisdictions.

The § 273.7(f)(5) state-option treatment (HoH-specific, general-only, 180-day-bounded, 8 jurisdictions) is not parameterized in this PR; deferred as a follow-up per the issue's Option B.

Reproduction verified

From the issue's reproduction scenario (CA household, two adults, Adult A works 40 hrs/wk, Adult B not working, no exemption):

Variable	Before	After
`meets_snap_work_requirements`	`False` (bug)	`True` ✓

Test plan

• 3 new multi-adult test cases added (one-passes-one-fails → eligible, both-fail → ineligible, both-pass → eligible regression guard)
• 9 / 9 `meets_snap_work_requirements.yaml` tests pass
• 290 / 290 full SNAP baseline tests pass
• `make format` clean

Scope excluded (follow-ups)

• § 273.7(f)(5) state-option parameterization (Option B in the issue): parameter flagging AZ/FL/MA/MN/MS/TX/VA/VI, HoH-specific trigger, general-only, 180-day bound
• § 273.11(c)(2) income proration for the excluded member — benefit-side logic to shrink the SNAP unit and prorate the disqualified member's income
• Related: SNAP eligibility incorrectly passes when student and immigration filters are satisfied by different household members #8133 (student/immigration per-person filter aggregation fix)

Program Review

Read-only review of the diff at HEAD. Code-only PR — no parameter values to PDF-audit. CI shows 1 failing job: Full Suite - Rest (Python + variables/ YAMLs) — root-caused below.

Critical (Must Fix)

1. snap_unit_size cascade is the CI failure root cause. Adding is_snap_work_requirements_disqualified to the ineligible mask in snap_unit_size.py:23 collapses unit size for any pre-existing fixture where adults have no weekly_hours_worked_before_lsr set (default 0) and aren't is_disabled. Confirmed-likely failures: snap.yaml:42-118 (3 cases), integration.yaml:1-26 & :101-128 (family of 4), snap_net_income.yaml:1-86. Recommended fix: revert the size-exclusion; keep the per-person fix scoped to meets_snap_work_requirements, which is what the PR body advertises.

2. snap_prorated_income.yaml fixtures are internally inconsistent with the new code. All adults in the 4 fixtures have 0 hours and no children → all is_snap_work_requirements_disqualified=True → asserted snap_unit_size: 3 actually computes to 0; asserted earned-income reductions don't hold.

3. ABAWD time-limit failure regulatorily belongs in PRORATED, not entirety. 7 CFR 273.11(c)(2)'s heading explicitly lists "ineligible ABAWDs"; the PR collapses (f)(1) general-work-req and (b) ABAWD into one boolean and then size-excludes both. ABAWD members with significant earned income are over-counted under entirety treatment.

4. Ineligible students are excluded under 273.11(d), not prorated under (c)(2)/(c)(3). 7 CFR 273.5(d) cross-references to 273.11(d), which fully excludes student income (cash transfers excepted). The PR routes them through is_snap_disqualified_prorated (c)(2)/(c)(3) proration math. Directionally better than master, but 7 files cite the wrong subsection.

5. snap_prorated_unearned_income_reduction silently drops 5 Person-level unearned sources. The hardcoded PERSON_LEVEL_UNEARNED_SOURCES omits dividend_income, interest_income, miscellaneous_income, rental_income, general_assistance — all confirmed entity = Person in the codebase. The docstring's claim that general_assistance/rental_income are SPM/tax-unit-level is incorrect.

6. snap_prorated_earned_income_reduction:38, :48 mixes YEAR-period and MONTH-period variables. snap_self_employment_expense_deduction is definition_period = YEAR but called with period (MONTH) — auto /12 conversion happens to cancel in the ratio, but the period mix is implicit and re-implements snap_earned_income_person's math.

7. No standalone test for is_snap_work_requirements_disqualified — the core new Person-level variable is only exercised indirectly through SPMUnit-level tests. Per PolicyEngine standards, formula variables with no unit test are a critical gap.

8. absolute_error_margin: 0.9 on a boolean output. meets_snap_work_requirements.yaml:43, :66 (Cases 5-6) — with margin ≥ 0.5 on a boolean, true and false become indistinguishable; the test is non-functional.

9. Scope creep relative to PR body. The body says "(c)(2) deferred as follow-up", but the diff introduces 6 new variables (is_snap_disqualified_prorated, is_snap_work_requirements_disqualified, snap_income_share, snap_child_support_expense, snap_prorated_earned_income_reduction, snap_prorated_unearned_income_reduction) and rewires 5 more. Either split into two PRs or update body + changelog.

Should Address

• is_snap_disqualified_prorated.py:8 cites (c)(2)/(c)(3) for students — wrong subsection (students are 273.11(d)).
• (c)(2) citations on alien-only proration variables are dead code: snap_prorated_*_reduction.py, snap_child_support_*.py, snap_earned_income.py, snap_unearned_income.py, snap_income_share.py. Drop #c_2, keep #c_3.
• meets_snap_work_requirements.py:14-22 cites "8 jurisdictions / 180 days" without the SNAP State Options Report 16th Ed. reference (#page=22).
• Bare cfr/text/7/273.7 and cfr/text/7/273.24 URLs should append #f_1 and #b.
• snap_child_support_expense.py missing the 7 USC 2014(e)(4) statute citation that its sibling files include.
• snap_unit_size.py inline comment cites (c)(2) but the formula behavior is (c)(1) entirety / 273.24(b).
• Dependent-care, shelter, 20% earned-income deductions for prorated members aren't implemented (273.11(c)(2) requires them).
• No standalone tests for is_snap_disqualified_prorated, snap_income_share, snap_prorated_*_reduction, snap_child_support_expense.
• Missing edge cases in meets_snap_work_requirements.yaml: 1-adult-fails, 3+-adult scaling, all-exempt unit, state-option carve-out marker.
• Missing edge cases in snap_prorated_income.yaml: all-prorated household, empty-size SPM branch, combined work-req + prorated, self-employment proration.
• No integration test asserting non-zero snap benefit for the #8139 regression.
• is_snap_work_requirements_disqualified recomputes no_dependent_child per Person; broadcast suggests an SPMUnit helper.
• State-option carve-out comment lacks issue/TODO reference.
• is_snap_disqualified_prorated and is_snap_work_requirements_disqualified use documentation instead of reference for URLs.

Suggestions

• Rename is_snap_disqualified_prorated → is_snap_prorated_member (the treatment is prorated, not the person).
• Rename snap_prorated_*_reduction → *_proration_exclusion (reads more naturally).
• Add SNAP State Options Report 16th Ed. citation with #page=NN if the (f)(5) claim depends on it.
• snap_income_share.py:30: defensive comment that share is bounded [0, 1].
• Test naming: cases 7-9 use adult_a/adult_b; testing-patterns skill prefers person1/person2.

CI Status

• Failing: Full Suite - Rest — caused by (1) snap_unit_size cascade and (2) snap_prorated_income.yaml self-inconsistency.
• Passing: lint, all baseline shards, all contrib shards, smoke imports, codecov, changelog fragment.

Review Severity: REQUEST_CHANGES

Justification: failing CI directly caused by this PR's snap_unit_size change, self-inconsistent new fixtures, regulatory misclassification of ABAWD and ineligible students, silent under-application of proration to 5 unearned sources, period mismatch in self-employment math, missing standalone test for the core new variable, non-functional boolean tests, and major scope creep relative to the PR body.
