What is the 'Federal Poverty Level - FPL'. The federal poverty level (FPL) is the set minimum amount of gross income that a family needs for food, clothing, transportation, shelter and other necessities. In the United States, this level is determined by the Department of Health and Human Services. FPL varies according to family size.
For an example of how the Census Bureau applies the thresholds to a familyâs income to determine its poverty status, see âHow the Census Bureau Measures Povertyâ on the Census Bureauâs web site. The poverty guidelines are the other version of the federal poverty measure. They are issued each year in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The guidelines are a simplification of the poverty thresholds for use for administrative purposes â for instance, determining financial eligibility for certain federal programs.
