+Based on your feedback, we identified multiple error messages in the TDP that did not align with the coding instructions. To address this, we have revised the system checks to better conform to the guidelines.
+TDP was incorrectly generating the following error messages for TANF and SSP Section 1: Active Case files:
+ T1 Item 27 (Waiver Evaluation): 0 is not in [9, ]
+
+
+ T1 Item 29 (TANF Family a New Child-Only Family): 0 is not in [1, 2]

+ Since Item 26AI (Total Dollar Amount of Reductions Due to Sanctions) is 474, then Item 26AIII (Family Sanction) 0 must be one of (1, 2)

+
+ M2 Item 32D (Receives Disability Benefit: AABD): 0 is not larger than 0
