Update Colorado TANF grant standards for 2025 current law #8545

Description

@MaxGhenis

PolicyEngine-US appears to still use the 2024-07-01 Colorado Works / TANF grant-standard amounts, while the current Colorado rule effective 2025-07-01 updates 9 CCR 2503-6 § 3.606.1.F.

Official sources:

Examples where current law differs from policyengine_us/parameters/gov/states/co/cdhs/tanf/grant_standard:

Assistance unit PE-US 2024 value Current 2025-07-01 value
No caretaker, 1 child 165 173
One caretaker, 1 child 466 488
Two caretakers, 1 child 619 649
Each additional child 86 90

The full 2025 grant-standard rows in the current rule are:

  • No caretaker: 0, 173, 362, 543, 724, 869, 1003, 1117, 1226, 1337, 1460, additional child 90
  • One caretaker: 374, 488, 620, 754, 894, 1031, 1138, 1248, 1359, 1467, 1574, additional child 90
  • Two caretakers: 527, 649, 788, 927, 1057, 1163, 1273, 1387, 1492, 1598, 1707, additional child 90

Need standards and the $10 pregnancy allowance look aligned with the current rule; this issue is specifically for the grant standard update. This affects co_tanf_grant_standard and downstream co_tanf calculations.
