Remove the inert federal CCDF implementation (New York data under gov/hhs/ccdf) #9283

Description

@hua7450

Background

The "federal" CCDF implementation under gov/hhs/ccdf/ is actually a legacy New York encoding: its market rates (amount.yaml), copay percentages (copay_percent.yaml), and county clusters (county_cluster.yaml) are New York OCFS data cited to NY documents. It is inert on mainspm_unit_ccdf_subsidy is not listed in child_care_subsidy_programs.yaml or any benefit aggregate, so it contributes $0 to every household.

Once New York has a proper state implementation (#9282), these files should be removed.

Scope — delete

Parameters:

  • parameters/gov/hhs/ccdf/amount.yaml (NY market rates, 938 lines)
  • parameters/gov/hhs/ccdf/copay_percent.yaml
  • parameters/gov/hhs/ccdf/county_cluster.yaml (NY counties)

Variables:

  • ccdf_age_group, ccdf_market_rate, ccdf_county_cluster, spm_unit_ccdf_subsidy, spm_unit_total_ccdf_copay, is_ccdf_home_based
  • is_ccdf_initial_income_eligible, is_ccdf_continuous_income_eligible (orphan input stubs with zero readers)

Tests:

  • tests/policy/baseline/gov/hhs/ccdf/: ccdf_age_group.yaml, ccdf_copay.yaml, ccdf_county_cluster.yaml, ccdf_market_rate.yaml, spm_unit_ccdf_subsidy.yaml

Partner analytics-coverage tests do not reference any of these (verified by a green Household API Partners run with them deleted).

Keep — genuinely shared federal infrastructure

  • is_ccdf_asset_eligible, is_ccdf_immigration_eligible_child, meets_ccdf_activity_test, is_ccdf_age_eligible, is_enrolled_in_ccdf, child_care_subsidies + their parameters (asset_limit, age_limit, income_limit_smi, child_care_subsidy_programs) — used by many state programs.
  • ccdf_duration_of_care — retained for Idaho ICCP (id_iccp_time_category), its only consumer; its hour thresholds originated in a NY market-rate letter, so it should eventually be re-homed under Idaho with its own parameters and citation.

Out of scope

The is_ccdf_eligibleis_ccdf_income_eligibleccdf_income_to_smi_ratioccdf_income chain and is_ccdf_reason_for_care_eligible have no state consumers either, but they are asserted in partner analytics-coverage contract tests (tests/policy/baseline/partners/analytics_coverage/). Removing them is a partner-facing API change that needs partner notification first — leave them in place for now.
