Rent Assistance

[HughParsonage]

What's the correct rent assistance for a single parent (with 0..4 children)?

rent_assistance(n_dependants = 0:4, has_partner = TRUE)
#> `fy.year` not set, so defaulting to fy.year = "2018-19"
#> `per` not set; calculating fortnightly payment.
#> [1] 128.00 159.58     NA 180.43     NA

When something like the following is run: sample <- data.table(rent = 500, n_dependants = 0, has_partner = F, is_homeowner = F,lives_in_sharehouse = F) model_rent_assistance(sample, .Prop_rent_paid_by_RA = 0.8, return. = "new_ra") It will return the warning messages from running rent assistance twice as baseline_ra and ra: fy.year not set, so defaulting to fy.year = "2018-19" per not set; calculating fortnightly payment. fy.year not set, so defaulting to fy.year = "2018-19" per not set; calculating fortnightly payment. Should we suppressWarnings() around both and create new warnings in model_rent_assistance()?

No should be an error: model rent assistance needs a financial year On Tue, 28 Aug 2018 at 12:26 pm, Matthew Katzen notifications@github.com wrote:

Then how would you like the baseline_Date to be handled? i.e. should it return an error if neither baseline_Date nor baseline_fy are set?

[HughParsonage]

Yes: error unless exactly one is set.

[MatthewKatzen]

Failing that data up-to-date test. Can you have a look at that @HughParsonage

[MatthewKatzen]

Can't figure out why the tests are failing but are working fine on my computer.
