Returns Form 278 (Public Financial Disclosure / Annual Financial Disclosure) filings — the annual snapshot members of Congress file each year showing assets, income sources, liabilities, transactions, gifts, outside positions, and (for spouse + dependent children) the same.  The same filings are published free as news at https://keyvex.com/disclosures under 5 U.S.C. § 13107(c).  SCOPE — v1 covers BOTH chambers: Senate (Senate eFD) and House (House Clerk). Filed by every senator and representative (and senior executive-branch officials, federal judges) by May 15 each year.  Use this when the user asks about: a member's asset composition, outside income sources, board seats / outside positions, liabilities (mortgages, loans), or for news reporting on annual disclosures.  CONTENT — when a filing's schedules were machine-parsed, `content_parsed` is true and the record carries structured `assets` (Schedule A) and `liabilities` arrays plus `asset_count` / `liability_count`. `value_range` / `amount_range` are the disclosed RANGES (e.g., '$50,001 - $100,000'), NOT point estimates — KeyVex does not collapse a range to a single number. SENATE rows carry the ranges verbatim. HOUSE rows are read from the House Clerk PDF by column position. On a House candidate or new-filer report, whose income prints in two columns ('current year to filing', 'preceding year'), `income_range` is empty — neither is the reporting period; `report_url` shows both. A row KeyVex could not read with confidence carries `parse_unreliable: true`, and for such rows `report_url` is authoritative. Net-worth roll-up is intentionally NOT provided (it would be a KeyVex-derived aggregate, not a disclosed value). When schedules are unavailable — Senate PAPER (scanned-image) filings, which carry no machine-readable text, or the occasional parse skip — `content_parsed` is false and `coverage_note` names the limitation; follow `report_url` to read the original. This honest coverage boundary is never a silent omission.  Different from get_congressional_trades: PTRs are per-trade real-time notices (filed within 30-45 days), while Form 278 is the year-end balance-sheet snapshot. Combine both for the full activity + position view of a member.  Report types: 'Annual' (yearly filing covering prior calendar year), 'New Filer' (initial disclosure on entering office), 'Termination' (final disclosure on leaving office), 'Combined' (annual+termination for filer who left mid-year), 'Amendment' (correction of a prior filing), 'Other' (rare).
