Summary: Look up guidelines by year, state, and size of household.
To make it easier to figure out what income levels may be applicable for various public assistance programs, I have created a calculator that allows you to look up guidelines by year, state, and size of household.
Many public assistance programs calculate eligibility by comparing income to the federal poverty level (FPL). These programs include Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and many state drug assistance programs. Often the programs provide different levels of benefits to people based on some percentage of the FPL, often using criteria like "175% of FPL". The FPL is changed every year, and varies based on the number of people in the household and the part of the country they live in.
