How to update SNAP rules annually - 18F/snap-js-api-prototype GitHub Wiki

See https://github.com/18F/snap-js-api-prototype/pull/33 as an example of an annual COLA update.

When new SNAP limits, allotments, and standard deductions are published for a given year, all files under program_data should be updated:

  • max_allotments.js
  • max_shelter_deductions.js
  • min_allotments.js
  • net_monthly_income_limits.js
  • standard_deductions.js
  • state_options.js

Once the updates have been added and reviewed, the project can distribute a new api.js file to users with SNAP calculator sites.
