In 2024-12, delivered a cohesive, backward-compatible enhancement to the benefits-calculator by unifying age calculation and birth date display across the app. Implemented backwards compatibility for legacy age input on older screens, refactored calcAge to handle incomplete birth data, introduced hasBirthMonthYear, and standardized member object passing to utilities. Updated HouseholdDataBlock usage and type definitions to improve safety and readability. These changes reduce errors, improve UX for age-related data, and set the stage for future enhancements across the repository Gary-Community-Ventures/benefits-calculator.
