Verified passages establish continued LIHEAP funding but do not establish Hernández’s congressional advocacy or material contribution. His specific promise was to continue defending funding; funding availability alone does not prove that action occurred. Unverified advocacy claims cannot support credit or an effort badge. No documented deadline establishes failure as of the assessment date.
