WIN-001 · VERIFIEDTexas Medicaid Buy-In guidance
Situation: An impossible income range appeared in a Texas Medicaid Buy-In premium chart.
Task: Identify the correct published range and alert the responsible handbook unit.
Action: Humanity Loop reported the documented contradiction September 25.
Result: Texas HHS corrected the public chart by September 30. Agency action and updated text were independently observed.
Reach: Relevant to people consulting that chart; verified individual readership and benefit not measured.
Official source and evidence ledger →WIN-002 · VERIFIEDVA Spanish-index rate links
Situation: Four links on a Spanish-language VA rate index led to outdated or unrelated benefit tables.
Task: Document the affected paths and current official rate destinations.
Action: We reported the link discrepancies September 25 and provided an evidence update October 20.
Result: On October 27, all four affected links were independently verified pointing to current 2026 VA rate tables. The VA made the changes; our exclusive causal role is unknown.
Reach: Four corrected navigation paths, not four people. Audience size and actual exposure are unmeasured; linked destinations remain in English.
Before / report / after receipts →WIN-003 · VERIFIEDMedicare prescription-plan helper
Situation: A Medicare.gov helper showed outdated Extra Help income figures.
Task: Identify the 2026 thresholds and reach the responsible CMS team.
Action: We reported the discrepancy with official comparison sources September 19.
Result: CMS confirmed a September 30 update and explicitly acknowledged our reporting. The helper now displays $23,940 for an individual and $32,460 for a married couple.
Reach: Two corrected thresholds; the number of actual users helped is not measured. The CMS response is attribution evidence, not beneficiary analytics.
Check Medicare's current helper → These are three verified corrections, with distinct evidence and attribution strengths. Modest counts such as four corrected links are defensible; we will not turn eligible population estimates into invented counts of people helped.
