[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3541847, member: 7248"] I had to check to see if I was living in poverty. A measure of income issued every year by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Federal poverty levels are used to determine your eligibility for certain programs and benefits, including savings on Marketplace health insurance, and Medicaid and CHIP coverage. The 2021 federal poverty level (FPL) income numbers below are used to calculate eligibility for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 2020 numbers are slightly lower, and are used to calculate savings on Marketplace insurance plans for 2021. [LIST] [*]$12,880 for individuals [*]$17,420 for a family of 2 [*]$21,960 for a family of 3 [*]$26,500 for a family of 4 [*]$31,040 for a family of 5 [*]$35,580 for a family of 6 [*]$40,120 for a family of 7 [*]$44,660 for a family of 8 [/LIST] Federal Poverty Level amounts are higher in Alaska and Hawaii. [URL='http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines']See all HHS poverty guidelines for 2021[/URL]. [SIZE=5][B]How federal poverty levels are used to determine eligibility for reduced-cost health coverage[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][B]Income between 100% and 400% FPL:[/B] If your income is in this range, in all states you qualify for premium tax credits that lower your monthly premium for a Marketplace health insurance plan. [*][B]Income below 138% FPL:[/B] If your income is below 138% FPL and your state has expanded Medicaid coverage, you qualify for Medicaid based only on your income. [*][B]Income below 100% FPL:[/B] If your income falls below 100% FPL, you probably won’t qualify for savings on a Marketplace health insurance plan or for income-based Medicaid. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
