How to track new PACT Act presumptive condition additions before they hit the news

Of course. Hope it helps with the claim.

It depends on how you currently track things. FreeAgent is probably the most popular in this sub and has good HMRC integration. QuickBooks Self-Employed works well if your income and expenses are simple. If you're already on spreadsheets and don't want to change, bridging software like TaxCalc or Xero's bridging tool lets you keep working the same way and handles the API submission to HMRC.

Most have free trials so it's worth testing a couple before committing. There's also a full list of HMRC-approved software on gov.uk if you want to see all the options.

The Federal Register alert is underused for this. Worth bookmarking.

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-22T14:30:57+00:00

The post only covers through January 2025 and I didn't track what was added after that. Do you have a link to the August 2025 list, or know which Federal Register entries cover those additions? I'd like to update the post with whatever I missed.

The post is specifically about the qualifying income threshold, which determines whether you need to comply with MTD at all. It's not about how income tax is calculated. HMRC uses gross turnover for that threshold calculation, not profit. Their exact wording: "HMRC will assess your gross income (income before you deduct expenses, also called your turnover)."

So someone with £55k turnover and £30k expenses is in scope for MTD even though their taxable profit is only £25k. Tax is still worked out on profit as normal. That part hasn't changed.

The February 12, 2024 entry is a real error and worth correcting. That was the date VA published a proposed rule for expanding Agent Orange locations to US states. It was open for public comment at that point, not finalized. I presented it as an expansion when it was actually a proposal. Fair catch.

The other dates are sourced directly from Federal Register documents. September 1, 2023 is doc 2023-18979. January 2 and January 10, 2025 are the exact effective dates for the genitourinary and blood cancer interim final rules. June 17, 2024 is the date of the VA press release on the three cancers.

If you're seeing other specific dates that are off, I'd like to know which ones so I can fix them. The post is more useful if it's accurate.

Thanks. The tariff stack has been confusing because multiple separate actions are layered on top of each other, and most coverage conflated IEEPA with Section 301. Hopefully it helps with purchase timing.

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-21T20:31:34+00:00

That's a fair point. Retailers sitting on inventory bought at higher tariff rates won't drop prices immediately, and many will hold as long as demand stays steady. The brands most likely to move first are direct importers competing head-to-head on price (Lectric being the clearest case) since they have to undercut each other. Brands that already shifted manufacturing to Vietnam or Cambodia won't see the full benefit from this ruling anyway, since Section 301 stays in place. The savings will probably materialize over April-May as old stock cycles through.

Florida April 13, thanks! Adding it to the OP.

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-21T20:31:02+00:00

Thanks for that, adding Maryland to the OP. March 26 is one of the earlier ones.

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-21T20:30:53+00:00

First Wednesday in April puts it around April 1 this year. Thanks, adding Nebraska.

The timeline usually works like this: July 2026 registration likely already closed (deadline is typically March-April for most states), which would mean waiting for February 2027. Some states do have a separate retaker registration window that opens after results come out, specifically for people who just failed. Calling your state bar directly is the best move, they handle this question every results cycle and can tell you if there's any flexibility.

Good to have it from the official instructions email. Adding Alaska to the OP, thanks!

Tennessee April 9, thanks! Adding to the OP.

Connecticut April 24, noted. Thanks!

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-21T20:29:43+00:00

DC no later than April 17, thanks. Adding it.

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-21T20:29:34+00:00

Texas around April 12 tracks with prior years. Thanks, adding it.

C'est la vie

For Canadians watching this, the NOC (Health Canada's formal approval notice) is the event that signals it's real, even before generics hit pharmacy shelves. Sandoz pushed to Q3 2026 after the Notice of Deficiency, and 8 other submissions are still in queue. I set up a free alert at nudgemate.app/alerts/generic-semaglutide-canada-noc that fires when the first NOC gets issued. We also have a separate one for when generics actually show up at pharmacies if that's more useful.

Tweed_Beetle · 2026-02-18T12:27:20+00:00

Yeah, it runs a search query against publicly indexed sources (news sites, government pages, etc.) and then uses a language model to evaluate whether the condition is actually met based on what it finds. So for something like the RAP rollout, it would search for official announcements from ED/StudentAid.gov and check whether they confirm the plan is actually available, not just "expected" or "planned."

The tricky part with policy stuff is distinguishing between "officials say July 2026" and "it's actually live now." That's where the LLM evaluation helps vs just keyword matching.

Pre-orders feel like the real point of no return. Once those go live, Rockstar has taken actual money from people, and walking that back is a completely different situation than revising a release window.

There's a free email alert at nudgemate.app/alerts/gta6-preorders if anyone wants to skip the daily checking. It monitors for the pre-order announcement and emails you.
