Federal Poverty Level 2022 : What is the current poverty threshold in the United States?<\/span><\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The 2022 federal poverty level (FPL) income numbers below are used to calculate eligibility for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 2021 numbers are slightly lower, and are used to calculate savings on Marketplace insurance plans for 2022.<\/p>\n
