Summary
Backdates federal TANF earned and unearned income source parameters from 2020-01-01 to 2010-07-01, aligning with other federal TANF cash parameters in the
age_limit/folder.Closes #7504
Changes
earned.yaml: 2020-01-01 → 2010-07-01unearned.yaml: 2020-01-01 → 2010-07-01No values changed — only the effective date.
Justification
The earned/unearned income categorizations (wages/self-employment as earned; benefits, investment income, support payments as unearned) have been stable across all federal means-tested programs since the SSI definitions (1974+). TANF delegates income definitions to states; these lists serve as a conventional baseline.
