Summary

  • remove Texas from the Medicaid parent deprivation requirement parameter
  • add regression coverage for a low-income joint-filing Texas household with two parents and one child
  • add a changelog fragment for the fix

Why

Texas no longer enforces the deprivation requirement for the parent/caretaker Medicaid pathway, so keeping TX: true on main incorrectly blocks eligible two-parent households.

Fixes #7976.

Impact

This restores parent Medicaid eligibility in Texas for qualifying two-parent households instead of denying them through the single-parent deprivation proxy.

Validation

  • make format
  • /tmp/policyengine-us-issue-7976/.venv/bin/policyengine-core test policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/hhs/medicaid/eligibility/categories/is_parent_for_medicaid.yaml -c policyengine_us -v
  • direct simulation check for the 2025 Texas two-parent household from the reported issue scenario
