POVERTY GUIDELINES

POVERTY GUIDELINES

U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines Used to Determine Financial Eligibility for Certain Federal Programs


The poverty guidelines 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 — for instance, determining financial eligibility for certain federal programs. For more information regarding the federal poverty guidelines, visit ASPE.HHS.GOV


NOTE: Programs within Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation may differ with their definition of “family”, countable income and other factors. Each program has individual income eligibility guidelines. Please refer to individual programs for further income information.

Annual income can be proven by Federal Income Tax Form, Social Security Statement, Form 1099s.

Monthly income can be proven by payroll check stubs, bank statements, or other proof that shows your current gross income.

Embrace Iowa

“Embrace Iowa helped our family be getting us a stove. The stove we had was hazardous. When we would cook on it, it would stink the whole house up. Also, it leaked underneath the stove. That stove was so small that my two year old son could see inside the pan without standing on anything. Now, with our new stove we can cook without smelling anything or without cleaning up a leaky mess. Thanks so much for our new stove. We really appreciated it.”
