Upstream PRs PolicyEngine#8364/PolicyEngine#8365 changed is_ssi_disabled to read the new canonical input meets_ssi_disability_criteria (default False) instead of deriving from is_disabled. The two housing-assistance MSA test cases used non-aged disabled adults set only via is_disabled, so they stopped qualifying as SSI-disabled and mn_msa_eligible_person dropped to 0. Add meets_ssi_disability_criteria: true to those persons, matching the new SSI test convention. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
meets_ssi_disability_criteriaas a data-overridable person variable for SSI disability status.is_disabledand notssi_engaged_in_sga.is_ssi_disableddelegate to the new variable so US-data can later provide calibrated latent SSI disability status.Why
Asset-limit reforms need a data-backed way to distinguish broad CPS disability from likely SSI disability criteria. Without this, reforms can overstate new SSI participation and downstream Medicaid effects. This is the PolicyEngine-US contract needed before
policyengine-us-datacan impute the variable from SIPP/CPS predictors and publish it in enhanced CPS.Related: #1043, PolicyEngine/policyengine-us-data#1094.
