Raise the elderly or disabled deduction to $525 (2024) and $550 (2026), the dependent deduction to $500 (2026), and the medical expense threshold from 3% to 10% of annual income per the HOTMA final rule (effective 2024-01-01; universal mandatory PHA compliance 2025-07-01, Notice PIH 2024-38) and the HUD CY2026 inflationary adjustments. Count disabled adults and full-time students as dependents per 24 CFR 5.603 by using is_hud_dependent instead of is_child, and document the deliberate workers' compensation exclusion under 24 CFR 5.609(b)(5).

Summary
Updates
hud_adjusted_incometo the HOTMA rules in 24 CFR 5.611, addressing items 1–3 of #8939:is_hud_dependent: under-18, disabled, or full-time-student members other than the head or spouse, excluding foster members) instead of children only; amount $480 → $500 (2026-01-01)Item 4 of #8939 (disability assistance / attendant care deduction, § 5.611) remains open — it needs a new expense input.
Dating
Parameters are dated at the HOTMA regulatory effective date (2024-01-01), matching the already-shipped post-HOTMA § 5.609 income source lists; YAML comments note that universal mandatory PHA compliance followed on 2025-07-01 (Notice PIH 2024-38). Pre-2024 periods keep $400/$480/3%, so all existing 2022–2023 tests are unchanged. The transitional 5%/7.5% phased hardship relief for the medical threshold is individual-circumstance and not modeled.
