Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 33 / Friday, February 16, 2001 / Notices 10697

(d) Family Unit. ‘‘Family unit’’ is not

an official U.S. Bureau of the Census

term, although it has been used in the

poverty guidelines Federal Register

notice since 1978. As used here, either

an unrelated individual or a family (as

defined above) constitutes a family unit.

In other words, a family unit of size one

is an unrelated individual, while a

family unit of two/three/etc. is the same

as a family of two/three/etc.

Note that this notice no longer

provides a definition of ‘‘income.’’ This

is for two reasons. First, there is no

universal administrative definition of

‘‘income’’ that is valid for all programs

that use the poverty guidelines. Second,

in the past there has been confusion

regarding important differences between

the statistical definition of income and

various administrative definitions of

‘‘income’’ or ‘‘countable income.’’ The

precise definition of ‘‘income’’ for a

particular program is very sensitive to

the specific needs and purposes of that

program. To determine, for example,

whether or not taxes, college

scholarships, or other particular types of

income should be counted as ‘‘income’’

in determining eligibility for a specific

program, one must consult the office or

organization administering the program

in question; that office or organization

has the responsibility for making

decisions about the definition of

‘‘income’’ used by the program (to the

extent that the definition is not already

contained in legislation or regulations).
