Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
What is the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)?
The Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is a measure of income issued annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It determines eligibility for various federal, state, and local assistance programs. The FPL is based on family size and is adjusted each year for inflation. Programs such as Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) use the FPL to assess income eligibility.
