1. Updated expense list dropdown. We have removed the following list items from the expense list as they were not being used to calculate any benefits in MyFriendBen.
- Auto Insurance Premium &or Payment
- Credit Card Debt
- Personal Loan
- Student Loan
2. Add ID to the results error page. If a user receives an error in MyFriendBen and sends our team a screenshot of the page, we will now be able to see the ID for the screener to troubleshoot more effectively for users.
3. Automate the process of running our end-to-end tests on every pull request. In an effort to improve MyFriendBen’s code quality and catch regressions early, we have implemented a. workflow that is triggered whenever a pull request is opened or updated on the dev branch. This will help ensure that new changes do not break existing user flows and that our application remains stable as we develop new features.
4. Copy edit for refugee/asylee immigration filter. We have changed the filter line for refugees/asylees to read “Granted refugee or asylee status (special rules or waiting periods may apply). This change was made because while it is true for refugees that admitted/granted are the same thing, for asylees, they may be admitted to the US for many years before they are actually “granted” asylum. This change was made in an attempt to eliminate any confusion for individuals living in the U.S. with pending asylum applications.
5. ACA estimated savings improvements in NC. We’ve updated our backend code to use a new formula from Policy Engine for ACA estimated savings in NC. The calculations for ACA should be more accurate now.
