Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Key Illinois HBWD premium bands at the chart's band
 starts

The 89 Ill. Admin. Code 120.510(n) premium chart uses closed bands
(0-250, 251-500, ..., 4751-5000, 5000+), so income of exactly $250,
$500 and so on belongs to the lower band. Thresholds now sit at the
band starts with the default lookup.

Fixes #10369

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Fix Illinois HBWD test comments and Case 4 name

Integration Cases 1 and 6 now show the countable earned income the
assertions use, and Case 4 no longer claims a cap the chart does not set.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] Register the Illinois HBWD 79-or-69 premium cell as a
 source-conflict candidate

The premium parameters now say that adding the first column and first row
reproduces 434 of the 441 cells in 120.510(n)(3), pointing to issue 10471.

+  note: 'PE-US gives the chart''s 69 because it adds an earned component (31) and an unearned component (38). The two
+    sources are a regulation and an agency form, with no statute, so the statute-first rule does not settle the cell.
+    The regulation''s row reads 31, 50, 79, 87, 106, and every neighbouring cell steps by about $19, so 79 may be a
+    typesetting error. The other 440 cells of the two sources agree. Issue 10471 proposes encoding the full table,
+    which needs this ruling first.'

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Test every Illinois HBWD band start and complete the
 79-or-69 record

Adds Cases 9-14 (each band start, one dollar below it, cents, and HFS 3792
Example 1), cites (n)(3) and the HFS chart, records the whole-dollar reading,
fixes stale test comments, and completes the source-conflict candidate with
the 2009 start, the HFS 3792 brochure and both sides of the argument.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Record the ruling for the Illinois HBWD 79-or-69 premium
 cell

The project lead ruled for the regulation's 79 on 2026-10-27. The candidate
is now ruled, with PE-US marked as giving the conflicting source's 69 until
issue 10471 encodes the full premium table.

+  note: 'Ruled 2026-10-27 for the regulation''s 79 by the project lead for the Medicaid fixes; the ruling record is
+    https://github.com/PolicyEngine/policyengine-us/pull/10372#issuecomment-6451385205. Under "Regulations are law" the
+    regulation binds, and the written canons have no exception for an apparent typesetting error, so the 69 in the
+    HFS chart and the HFS 3792 brochure does not override it. PE-US gives 69 because its premium adds an earned
+    component (31) and an unearned component (38), which cannot represent a cell that departs from that sum. Issue
+    10471, which encodes the full 21 x 21 table, will make PE-US follow the ruling. The other 440 cells of the
+    regulation and the chart agree.'
