- How this page stays honest
- Every dollar figure that is federally uniform (standard deduction, maximum excess shelter deduction, homeless shelter deduction, maximum asset limits) traced directly to USDA's official FY2026 Maximum Allotments and Deductions table, fetched directly. New Jersey's own state-specific 185% FPL BBCE income chart traced to DFD's own public eligibility page. The Standard Utility Allowance dollar figure rests on secondary corroboration only (a cross-agency NJ Medicaid Communication referencing DFD's SNAP figures) after the primary DFD/Medicaid memo PDF could not be located at any URL tried — disclosed explicitly in PROVENANCE.md and freshness.json rather than treated as fully verified. Adversarial refute pass recorded in PROVENANCE.md, including an explicit check of whether New Jersey's own Restaurant Meals Program claim (repeated by several third-party SNAP-benefit explainer sites) survives contact with USDA's official RMP state list and the New Jersey Legislature's own bill-status records.
