Coverage

What is in the corpus, and what is dark.

Coverage loads one corpus at a time, along two axes: jurisdiction and sector. What has been ingested and checked against its published source is listed below, with the source and the effective date it carries. What has not stays dark — and a dark cell returns nothing rather than something adjacent.

Where it stands

One cell on the grid below is loaded: Alberta, income support. Every other jurisdiction and sector runs its own manuals and directives, and none of them have been ingested.

Coverage grows one verified cell at a time. Nothing appears here as loaded before it is.

Jurisdiction × sector.

§ 01
Coverage grid by jurisdiction and sector. Every cell states its own status in words. In Alberta, income support, health benefits, employment, and child & family are loaded; housing and every other jurisdiction are not loaded.

Present as passages, not as whole sections.

§ 03

Eligibility is a chain of gates, so these sections already surface as cross-references from what is loaded — but only the governing passages are in, not every sub-page. Treat anything here as partial: it is enough to point at the rule, not enough to stand in for the section.

Income

How income offsets the benefit, and how it is classified.

§ 04 — Dark

A dark cell returns nothing.

The programs below sit in separate manuals that have not been ingested. Ask about one and the answer is no matching policy — check the manual, escalate. That is the intended behaviour: a gap in coverage should look like a gap, not like an answer.

How to read this page.

§ 05
Growing

One verified cell at a time

Coverage grows by jurisdiction and by sector, each as its own corpus, with no dates promised and nothing shown as loaded until it is. Nearest in is finishing the cell that is already loaded, by folding in the income, asset and client-category gates. This page changes when a cell does.

Amounts

Dollar figures do not come from the policy text

Amounts are read from the publisher’s own financial benefits summary — a separate document — each carrying its own effective date and source page, and each flagged for the reader to confirm. Confirm against the published summary before acting.

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 currently published version, where the manual does not publish a discrete effective date. A section listed here means the governing passages it contains — not necessarily every sub-page.
