www.medicaid.gov: Accessibility — week 2026-W32

Automated Accessibility Conformance Report (OpenACR): Download ACR. Machine-readable; compatible with GSA OpenACR tooling. Automated tools find ~⅓ of real barriers — supplement with manual AT testing.

Training priorities

Top WCAG success criteria by pages affected this week. Use these to focus team training on the highest-impact issues.

SC	Criterion	Pages	Rules
1.4.6	WCAG 1.4.6	3201	1
2.5.5	WCAG 2.5.5	3201	1
1.4.8	WCAG 1.4.8	2453	2
4.1.2	Name, Role, Value (ARIA)	614	4
1.3.1	Info and Relationships (semantic structure)	586	2

Next 10 actions

Clusters are fingerprinted by normalized selector path + rule id + snippet shape. Rank score = (severity weight × pages affected) / distinct components for the rule. This supersedes the template threshold heuristic while still surfacing it as a validation signal.

Top 10 clustered component fixes for this week.

Bug reports

9 issue type(s) are shown by default out of 33 total. Prioritized by severity, key pages, WCAG level, and prevalence; use the toggle to show everything.

Overall severity mix: 2 critical, 3 serious, 27 moderate, 1 minor. By WCAG category: 6 WCAG 2.0 A, 1 WCAG 2.1 A, 1 WCAG 2.2 AA, 4 WCAG 2.x AAA, 11 Best Practice, 10 Undetermined. Ordered by severity, key-page impact, WCAG level, and prevalence. Following accessibility bug-reporting best practices. Download: Markdown · JSON (full archive) · JSON (AI diagnostic) · CSV (all findings) · Priority pages CSV · Priority pages JSON.

Automated testing does not establish full WCAG conformance. Findings in the verification lane require manual testing before they are treated as confirmed failures.

Default view shows 9 prioritized issue type(s); 24 more are available if you switch to "Show everything".

1 finding(s) marked "possible duplicate" — Alfa and axe-core both flagged the same WCAG SC on overlapping pages. If they target the same element, the axe-core report is authoritative. Filter the CSV by possible_duplicate_of to see these. Two engines flagging the same barrier reduces the chance of a false positive.

Findings needing review

These findings need manual verification before they can be treated as confirmed failures. Obligation remains visible for each finding.

Description

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark. Detected by axe-core rule landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo on 12 of 6885 scanned pages (12 instances).

Steps to reproduce

Open https://www.medicaid.gov/faq?f%5B0%5D=sub_topic_faq_library_facet%3A1876&f%5B1%5D=sub_topic_faq_library_facet%3A2031&f%5B2%5D=sub_topic_faq_library_facet%3A2091&f%5B3%5D=sub_topic_faq_library_facet%3A2401&page=0.
Locate the element: .usa-alert
Confirm the axe-core finding for rule landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo.

Impact

Not captured by automated scan — requires manual testing.

Affected pages

Testing environment

Automated: axe-core, headless Chromium (Playwright). Manual AT verification: Not captured by automated scan — requires manual testing.

Suggested fix

How to fix: Use only one contentinfo landmark (<footer> at the top level) per page.

Unique accessibility issues (axe + Alfa consolidated)

axe and Alfa both implement W3C ACT rules, so the same issue is often caught by both. These are deduplicated by ACT rule and page, so a shared finding counts once (20526 raw engine findings → 20267 unique).

Unique issues (rule × page): 20267
Caught by both engines: 259 highest confidence
axe only: 5616
Alfa only: 14392

2 rule type(s) caught by both engines — highest confidence

Two independent ACT-rule implementations (Deque axe-core and Siteimprove Alfa) flagged the same issue on the same pages. Agreement between separate engines is strong evidence the barrier is real, not a single-tool false positive — the best place to start.

Rules flagged by both axe-core and Alfa in 2026-W32, by pages affected.
