Medicaid Application project Phase 5 complete. All data extraction finished across 5 sessions. Key findings: Bank email notifications create false duplicates (pre-auth holds + POS settlements both generate emails, but bank only posts once). Confirmed 8 duplicate Amazon charges totaling ~$1,585 in phantom charges. Woodforest bank limits transaction search to 120 days from start date. Water bills from Munis Self Service portal revealed bank payments were multi-month lump sums, not inflated monthly charges. Duke Energy "Total Amount Due" includes past-due balances, always use "Current Charges" for actual monthly cost. All utility data gathered for both shop (123 Roosevelt) and house (232 Macdonald): water, electric (Carteret-Craven EC shop, Duke Energy house), internet (Spectrum, both locations). Amazon order history: 41 orders in 2025, 4 in 2026, all 2026 orders are tattoo supplies. $693.86 unmatched Amazon charge on 07/22/2025 likely Lauren's order. Phase 6 (final report compilation) is next.
