The federal poverty level (FPL) is an income amount determined by the federal government. The FPL increases as the household size increases. When an individual or family falls below the federal poverty level, or certain ranges above 100% FPL, they may become eligible for assistance and subsidies. From the Covered California income table for 2020, 100% of the FPL for an individual is $12,490. In California, adults who have an income below 138% of the FPL are eligible for MAGI Medi-Cal. For a single adult, 138% FPL is $17,237 and for a family of four it is $35,535 on the Covered California 2020 FPL for 2020 income table. All of the state and federal subsidies work off of the federal poverty level for income for determining eligibility.
