Description
These are properly used for SNAP BBCE in microsim.

Raises $52 million: https://policyengine.org/us/policy?focus=policyOutput.policyBreakdown®ion=ca&timePeriod=2024&baseline=2&reform=72142
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue's two PolicyEngine policy links and tracing the TANF non-cash income-limit flag in the microsimulation path. Confirm the current flag is unnecessary for SNAP BBCE, remove it, and verify that changing California's gross-income limit produces the expected policy output and $52 million change.
