Add TANF takeup assignment to CPS data pipeline#545
Merged
Conversation
The TANF takeup rate was added to SIMPLE_TAKEUP_VARS (for calibration) but not to add_takeup() in cps.py (for data persistence). This meant takes_up_tanf_if_eligible defaulted to True (100%) in the dataset. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
