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.
In the United States, the federal poverty line â an absolute measure of annual income â is frequently used to determine who is categorized as poor (Ferris & Stein, 2008, 2010). Currently the government defines the poverty line as an income of $11,139 for an individual and $22,314 for a family of four (Censky, 2011). In sociology, poverty can be defined using two terms â relative deprivation and absolute deprivation. Relative deprivation is a comparison between people and social class.
