59 and related discussion in taxdata revealed that the main reason for very-low-income losers in Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend is children filing taxes separately from their parents. As individual tax units, they don't get the Freedom Dividend, but aggregating by household would show many to come out ahead.

Aggregating by household would address this. Paths to doing this and dependencies are described in https://github.com/PSLmodels/taxdata/issues/323.
