2008 US Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines

The poverty guidelines are the other version of the federal poverty measure; the poverty thresholds are the original version. 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 — for instance, determining financial eligibility for certain federal programs.

The poverty guidelines are sometimes loosely referred to as the “federal poverty level” (FPL), but that phrase is ambiguous and should be avoided, especially in situations (e.g., legislative or administrative) where precision is important.
