§ 01 — Now live · Alberta › Income Support

The one live cell — sections in the corpus, grouped by benefit.

This is the first jurisdiction × sector loaded: Alberta, Income Support. Source: Income and Employment Supports Policy Manual → Income Support Program → ETW & BFE Policy & Procedures, manuals.alberta.ca. Section codes are the manual's own path segments. The Core Shelter slice is live end-to-end on Supabase; Core Essential and Emergency Allowance passages and rate tables are ingested alongside it.

§ 02 — Folding in · within Alberta › Income Support

Present as key passages, not yet complete sections.

Still inside the live Alberta › Income Support cell: eligibility is a chain of gates, so these sections are already surfaced as cross-references from the loaded benefits — but only the governing passages are in, not every sub-page. Per the roadmap, Income, Assets, and Client Categories (ETW / BFE) are being folded in next. Treat anything here as partial.

§ 03 — The honest picture

One cell live. The rest, honestly, not yet.

The engine is parameterized on both axes — every passage carries its jurisdiction and its sector, and selectors filter to the cell you're in. What's verified is live; what isn't stays dark rather than stale. Ask about an empty cell and policyratio returns "No matching policy — check the manual / escalate" instead of a guess.

§ 04 — Not loaded

Sectors and programs the tool does not cover today.

Even inside Alberta, these are other government sectors — disability income, health benefits, child & family services, employment & training — that case managers touch but that are not ingested. Several live in separate manuals we haven't loaded. Ask about one and policyratio returns "No matching policy — check the manual / escalate" rather than a guess. Every other province and territory sits behind the same honest wall until loaded.

§ 05 — Jurisdictions × sectors

Both axes, spelled out.

Every passage carries its jurisdiction and its sector. Today only Alberta × Income Support is populated — each other province, territory, and sector runs its own separate manuals and directives, none ingested yet. Coverage grows one cell at a time.

Growing one verified cell at a time.

About the dollar amounts

Amounts do not come from the policy text. They are hand-entered from the Income Support Financial Benefits Summary PDF — a separate document — each with its own effective date and source page, and every one is flagged "verify". The current figures are dated 2026-07-02. Financial Benefits Summary PDF ↗. Always confirm against the live PDF before acting.

How to read the effective column. Rows marked amt eff 2026-07-02 carry rate figures from the Financial Benefits Summary at that effective date. Rows marked manual · current are policy text reflecting the current manuals.alberta.ca version, where the manual does not publish a discrete effective date. "Section covered" means representative governing passages — not necessarily every sub-page.
