Correct two Ohio Works First initial-income rules. ORC 5107.10(D)(1)–(2), effective September 29, 2013, supplies July guideline adoption and an inclusive initial adjusted-gross-income limit. Identical complete (D)(1) text in the 2017, 2021 and 2023 editions supports the initial equality correction across the modeled source epochs.

The FPG consumer uses #10886’s shared literal 2016 table when its existing July selector chooses that year, naturally affecting July 2016–June 2017. For three people, annual FPG of $20,160 gives $1,680 monthly and an initial 50% limit of $840. An actual constant monthly wage of $841 incorrectly passed the linear approximation’s $841⅔ limit and now fails; $840 passes the inclusive initial gate. These examples check the initial financial gate, not a cash award or complete program eligibility.

Validation:

• Four genuine source-bound failures preceded implementation, including an isolated equality case and upstream actual-wage households.
• All 83 focused cases passed in one capped process (11.24 seconds): 72 original cases, including two ordinary equality expectations corrected from the statute, plus 11 new cases. No partner file changed.
• Original ordinary cases 4 and 7 keep their inputs and threshold-equality purpose; expected initial eligibility changes false → true. All other original initial cases remain.
• make format passed with all five frozen hashes unchanged. The July selector, original monthly fallback arithmetic, shared FPG dependency and separate strict countable-income/payment-standard gate remain.

WIP: stacked on #10886. Required independent Opus Subfleet review is queued as 20261113-201853-history-oh-owf-fpg2017; no completed review is claimed. Parent merge and current-head CI remain. Payment standards, deductions, nonfinancial conditions and returner routing are outside this correction.

axiom: TheAxiomFoundation/rulespec-us#2223 (comment) — initial-gate companion queued; source admission, signed encoding and actual parity execution remain pending.
