US Economy. Definition: The Federal poverty level is the indicator the U.S. government uses to define who is poor. It measures a family's annual cash income. That's how it differs from other poverty indicators that measure total wealth, annual consumption, or a subjective assessment of well-being.
We base income limits on the FPL published in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Regardless of the age of family members, poverty levels remain the same. Income after exclusions, whether earned and unearned, must be less than 150% of the FPL (based on size of the household) for subsidy eligibility. One set of poverty levels applies to the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia. Alaska and Hawaii have separate and slightly higher poverty levels.
