SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1007(a)(2) of the Legal Services 

Corporation Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 

2996f(a)(2), requires the Corporation to 

establish maximum income levels for 

individuals eligible for legal assistance.

for updating and issuing. 45 CFR

Each year, LSC publishes an update to

Guidelines. The figures for 2016, set out 

below, are equivalent to 125 percent 

(125%) of the current Guidelines 

published by HHS on January 25, 2016 

(81 FR 4036). 

In addition, LSC is publishing a chart 

listing income levels that are two 

hundred percent (200%) of the 

Guidelines. This chart is for reference 

purposes only as an aid to grant 

recipients in assessing the financial 

eligibility of an applicant whose income 

is greater than 125 percent (125%) of the 

applicable Guidelines amount, but less 

than 200 percent (200%) of the 

applicable Guidelines amount (and who 

may be found to be financially eligible 

under duly adopted exceptions to the 

annual income ceiling in accordance
