SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 673(2) of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1981 (42 

U.S.C. 9902(2)) requires the Secretary of 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services to update the poverty 

guidelines at least annually, adjusting 

them on the basis of the Consumer Price 

Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U). 

The poverty guidelines are used as an 

eligibility criterion by Medicaid and a 

number of other Federal programs. The 

poverty guidelines issued here are a 

simplified version of the poverty 

thresholds that the Census Bureau uses 

to prepare its estimates of the number of 

individuals and families in poverty. 

As required by law, this update is 

accomplished by increasing the latest 

published Census Bureau poverty 

thresholds by the relevant percentage 

change in the Consumer Price Index for 

All Urban Consumers (CPI–U). The 

guidelines in this 2021 notice reflect the 

1.2 percent price increase between 

calendar years 2019 and 2020. After this 

inflation adjustment, the guidelines are 

rounded and adjusted to standardize the 

differences between family sizes. In rare 

circumstances, the rounding and 

standardizing adjustments in the 

formula result in small decreases in the 

poverty guidelines for some household 

sizes even when the inflation factor is 

not negative. In cases where the year-toyear change in inflation is not negative 

and the rounding and standardizing 

adjustments in the formula result in 

reductions to the guidelines from the 

previous year for some household sizes, 

the guidelines for the affected 

household sizes are fixed at the prior 

year’s guidelines. As in prior years, 

these 2021 guidelines are roughly equal 

to the poverty thresholds for calendar 

year 2020 which the Census Bureau 

expects to publish in final form in 

September 2021. 

The poverty guidelines continue to be 

derived from the Census Bureau’s 

current official poverty thresholds; they 

are not derived from the Census 

Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure 

(SPM). 

The following guideline figures 

represent annual income.

Separate poverty guideline figures for 

Alaska and Hawaii reflect Office of 

Economic Opportunity administrative 

practice beginning in the 1966–1970 

period. (Note that the Census Bureau 

poverty thresholds—the version of the 

poverty measure used for statistical 

purposes—have never had separate 

figures for Alaska and Hawaii.) The 

poverty guidelines are not defined for 

Puerto Rico or other outlying 

jurisdictions. In cases in which a 

Federal program using the poverty 

guidelines serves any of those 

jurisdictions, the Federal office that 

administers the program is generally 

responsible for deciding whether to use 

the contiguous-states-and-DC guidelines 

for those jurisdictions or to follow some 

other procedure. 

Due to confusing legislative language 

dating back to 1972, the poverty 

guidelines sometimes have been 

mistakenly referred to as the ‘‘OMB’’ 

(Office of Management and Budget) 

poverty guidelines or poverty line. In 

fact, OMB has never issued the 

guidelines; the guidelines are issued 

each year by the Department of Health 

and Human Services. The poverty 

guidelines may be formally referenced 

as ‘‘the poverty guidelines updated 

periodically in the Federal Register by 

the U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services under the authority of 

42 U.S.C. 9902(2).’’ 

Some federal programs use a 

percentage multiple of the guidelines 

(for example, 125 percent or 185 percent 

of the guidelines), as noted in relevant 

authorizing legislation or program 

regulations. Non-Federal organizations 

that use the poverty guidelines under 

their own authority in non-Federallyfunded activities also may choose to use 

a percentage multiple of the guidelines. 

The poverty guidelines do not make a 

distinction between farm and non-farm 

families, or between aged and non-aged 

units. (Only the Census Bureau poverty 

thresholds have separate figures for aged 

7734 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 19 / Monday, February 1, 2021 / Notices 

and non-aged one-person and twoperson units.) 

This notice does not provide 

definitions of such terms as ‘‘income’’ or 

‘‘family’’ as there is considerable 

variation of these terms among programs 

that use the poverty guidelines. The 

legislation or regulations governing each 

program define these terms and 

determine how the program applies the 

poverty guidelines. In cases where 

legislation or regulations do not 

establish these definitions, the entity 

that administers or funds the program is 

responsible to define such terms as 

‘‘income’’ and ‘‘family.’’ Therefore 

questions such as net or gross income, 

counted or excluded income, or 

household size should be directed to the 

entity that administers or funds the 

program.
