What and why

Implements Utah State Supplemental Payment for researched 2026 coverage, with state-specific eligibility, payment rules, and integration into benefit totals and SNAP income.

Models the fixed payment to qualifying Medicaid institution residents.

The supplement is not counted as HUD income. Recipients live in a Medicaid-funded medical institution (Manual 661), not HUD-assisted housing, and counting it for HUD would make its Medicaid enrollment condition circular through rent-related tax deductions. The shared medicaid_enrolled_for_ssi_state_supplement therefore keeps main's code; only its docstring wording changes.

Parameter backfilling does not establish verified historical coverage.

Related: #9082; historical backdating remains separate.

Additional section and page citations are included alongside the parameters and formulas.

Test plan

  • 15 source-based YAML cases (ut_ssp.yaml, integration.yaml) pass locally, with the HUD, Indiana SSP and Kansas SSPP YAML tests.
  • Main's test_ssi_state_supplement_medicaid_dependency.py, the programs registry and code-health tests pass locally.
  • tests/microsimulation/test_microsim.py passes locally, including the full-population housing allocation test.
  • make format, reference/registry checks, and git diff --check.
  • State changelog fragment.

- Accept reported SSI receipt alongside the $1 computed-SSI floor; drop the redundant $30 bound
- Cite Utah Admin. Code R414-306-6 and note state administration
- State-neutral wording in the shared Medicaid helper documentation (same as OH)
- Registry placement and comments, SNAP reference title, programs.yaml note
- Floor cases with direct SSI inputs; reported-receipt and couple cases

Counting ut_ssp as HUD income made Medicaid enrollment, rent-related tax
deductions and HUD income circular, so the shared SSP Medicaid helper had
to run a full-population branch in every year and the microsimulation job
ran out of time and memory. Recipients live in Medicaid-funded medical
institutions, so the supplement stays out of HUD income, and the helper and
its core test return to main's version (only the docstring wording differs).
Integration Case 2 drops its HUD check, which depended on calculation order
for a January-only facility input.
