Suggested change
marital_ssi = where(is_joint, person.marital_unit.sum(ssi) / 2, ssi)
marital_ssi = where(is_joint, person.household.sum(ssi) / 2, ssi)

I think we want to sum it by household

SSI is a per member benefit except for the marital unit. So, if the child qualifies for SSI, we would not want that to be counted.

Could you add a source for this? AFAIUI, spouses could get different portions of the marital unit's total SSI, based on the personal income of each spouse; it's not automatically split 50/50.

My understanding is that if both spouses are eligible for SSI, they would only receive one check.

FYI, I just realized that I used the wrong variable. Just changed it to use ssi_marital_both_eligible

total_countable_income = marital_ssi + income
p = parameters(period).gov.states.co.ssa.oap
grant_standard = p.grant_standard * MONTHS_IN_YEAR
return max_(0, grant_standard - total_countable_income)
