Low Income Levels
’’Low Income Levels’’ Used for Various
Health Professions and Nursing
Programs Included in Titles III, VII, and

Health Resources and Services
Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) is
updating income levels used to identify
a ‘‘low income family’’ for the purpose
of determining eligibility for programs
that provide health professions and
nursing training for individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds. These
various programs are included in Titles
III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health
Service Act.
The Department periodically
publishes in the Federal Register low
income levels used to determine
eligibility for grants and cooperative
agreements to institutions providing
training for (1) Disadvantaged
individuals, (2) individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds, or (3)
individuals from ‘‘low income ’’
families.

background in making eligibility and
funding determinations generally make
awards to: Accredited schools of
medicine, osteopathic medicine, public
health, dentistry, veterinary medicine,
optometry, pharmacy, allied health
podiatric medicine, nursing,
chiropractic, public or private nonprofit
schools which offer graduate programs
in behavioral health and mental health
practice, and other public or private
nonprofit health or education entities to
assist the disadvantaged to enter and
graduate from health professions and
nursing schools. Some programs
provide for the repayment of health
professions or nursing education loans
for disadvantaged students.
The Secretary defines a ‘‘low income
family’’ for programs included in Titles
III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health
Service Act as having an annual income
that does not exceed 200 percent of the
Department’s poverty guidelines. A
‘‘family’’ is a group of two or more
individuals related by birth, marriage, or
adoption who live together or an
individual who is not living with any
relatives. Most HRSA programs use the
income of the student’s parents to
compute low income status, while a few
programs, depending upon the
legislative intent of the program,
programmatic purpose of the low
income level, as well as the age and
circumstances of the average
participant, will use the student’s family
as long as he or she is not listed as a
dependent upon the parents’ tax form.
Each program will announce the
rationale and choice of methodology for
determining low income levels in their
program guidance. The Department’s
poverty guidelines are based on poverty
thresholds published by the U.S. Bureau
of the Census, adjusted annually for
changes in the Consumer Price Index.
The Secretary annually adjusts the
low income levels based on the
Department’s poverty guidelines and
makes them available to persons
responsible for administering the
applicable programs. The income

Low Income Levels
The Secretary defines a ``low income family'' for programs included
in Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act as having
an annual income that does not exceed 200 percent of the Department's
poverty guidelines. A ``family'' is a group of two or more individuals
related by birth, marriage, or adoption who live together or an
individual who is not living with any relatives. Most HRSA programs use
the income of the student's parents to compute low income status, while
a few programs, depending upon the legislative intent of the program,
programmatic purpose of the low income level, as well as the age and

as long as he or she is not listed as a dependent upon the parents' tax

guidance. The Department's poverty guidelines are based on poverty
thresholds published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, adjusted
