1. Implement end-to-end testing using Playwright. In an effort to continually ensure MyFriendBen is always functioning correctly for our users, the MFB team has implemented better testing to help us catch any regressions during development and before releases. To start, we have implemented a basic test to ensure the application is loading and the main page renders.

2. Update to Medicaid Results. Previously, MyFriendBen results would not show Medicaid if anyone in the household indicates they already have Medicaid, even if other members are income eligible and indicate they do not have health insurance. We have updated the results so that Medicaid will show up in the results page if someone in the household is eligible, even if other household members indicate they already have Medicaid.

3. Update estimated savings values for NC WIC. Following advice from NCDHHS to use Average Monthly Food Cost Per Person for NC from USDA data, we updated the “estimated savings” values for NC WIC to be $60/per person per month for all eligible children.

4. Fixed a small bug on Step 8. On Step 8 where users indicate if they’re enrolled in any existing benefits, we previously had an issue with the checkbox for ACA not saving the user input properly. That’s fixed now!
