- How this page stays honest
- Every dollar figure that is federally uniform (standard deduction, maximum excess shelter deduction, homeless shelter deduction, maximum asset limits) matches the current federal FY2026 table exactly as printed in Virginia's own manual (Transmittal #36, 10/25) — no independent USDA table fetch was needed to cross-check these since Virginia's manual states them directly and they match every other state this roster has already verified against that table. Virginia's own state-specific Standard Utility Allowance and Medical Standard Deduction dollar figures are traced directly to VDSS's own manual text (not a secondary source) — a genuine improvement in source strength over NJ's SUA gap in this same roster, though this pack could not additionally cross-verify VA's SUA figure against USDA's national FY26 SUA values page, which did not render its data in fetchable inline HTML text in this pass (disclosed in freshness.json as a nice-to-have re-check, not a live gap, since VDSS's own manual is already the stronger primary source). Adversarial refute pass recorded in PROVENANCE.md.
