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, at least annually, the 

poverty guidelines, which shall be used 

as an eligibility criterion for the 

Community Services Block Grant 

program. The poverty guidelines also 

are used as an eligibility criterion by 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 2006 notice reflect the 

3.4 percent price increase between 

calendar years 2004 and 2005. After this 

inflation adjustment, the guidelines are 

rounded and adjusted to standardize the 

differences between family sizes. The 

same calculation procedure was used 

this year as in previous years. (Note that 

these 2006 guidelines are roughly equal 

to the poverty thresholds for calendar 

year 2005 which the Census Bureau 

expects to publish in final form in 

August 2006.)
