the estimated median income of fourperson households in each state and the
District of Columbia for FFY 2014
(October 1, 2013, to September 30,

Under the
provisions of section 2603(11) of Title
XXVI of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law
97–35, as amended, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
announces the estimated median
income of four-person families for each
state, the District of Columbia, and the
United States for FFY 2014 (October 1,
2013, through September 30, 2014).
Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of this Act
provides that 60 percent of the median
income of four-person families for each
state and the District of Columbia (state
median income or SMI), as annually
established by the Secretary of Health
and Human Services, is one of the
income criteria that LIHEAP grantees
may use in determining a household’s
eligibility for LIHEAP.
LIHEAP was last authorized by the
Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law
109–58, which was enacted on August
8, 2005. This authorization expired on
September 30, 2007, and reauthorization
remains pending.
The SMI estimates that HHS
publishes in this notice are 3-year
estimates derived from the American
Community Survey (ACS) conducted by
the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S.
Department of Commerce (Census
Bureau).
For additional information about the
ACS state median income estimates,
including the definition of income and
the derivation of medians see https://

2011_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf under
‘‘Income in the Past 12 Months.’’ For
additional information about the ACS
1-year and 3-year estimates, see https://

Social, Economic, and Housing
Statistics Division at (301) 763–3243.
The SMI estimates, like those derived
from any survey, are subject to two
types of errors:
(1) Non-sampling Error, which
consists of random errors that increase
the variability of the data and non-

random errors that consistently shift the
data in a specific direction; and
(2) Sampling Error, which consists of
the error that arises from the use of
probability sampling to create the
sample. For additional information
about the accuracy of the ACS SMI
estimates, see https://www.census.gov/

In the state-by-state listing of SMI and
60 percent of SMI for a four-person
family for FFY 2014, LIHEAP grantees
must regard ‘‘family’’ to be the
equivalent of ‘‘household’’ with regards
to setting their income eligibility
criteria. This listing describes the
method for adjusting SMI for
households of different sizes, as
specified in regulations applicable to
LIHEAP (45 CFR 96.85(b)). These
regulations were published in the
Federal Register on March 3, 1988, (53
FR 6827) and amended on October 15,
1999 (64 FR 55858).

1 These figures were prepared by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), from 3-year estimates from the
2009, 2010, and 2011 American Community Surveys (ACSs). These estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject to two types of
error: (1) Non-sampling Error, which consists of random errors that increase the variability of the data and non-random errors that consistently direct the data in a specific direction; and (2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from the use of probability sampling to create
the sample.
2 These figures were calculated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of
Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance by multiplying the estimated state median income for a four-person family for each state by
60 percent.
3 To adjust for different sizes of households for LIHEAP purposes, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for multiplying 60 percent of a state’s estimated median
income for a four-person family by the following percentages: 52 percent for a one-person household, 68 percent for a two-person household, 84
percent for a three-person household, 100 percent for a four-person household, 116 percent for a five-person household, and 132 percent for a
six-person household. For each additional household member above six people, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for adding 3 percentage points to the percentage for a six-person household (132 percent) and multiply the new percentage by 60 percent of the median income for a four-person family.

announces the estimated median income of four-person families for each
state, the District of Columbia, and the United States for FFY 2014

The SMI estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject
to two types of errors:
(1) Non-sampling Error, which consists of random errors that
increase the variability of the data and non-
[[Page 28598]]
random errors that consistently shift the data in a specific direction;
and
(2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from
the use of probability sampling to create the sample. For additional
information about the accuracy of the ACS SMI estimates, see https://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2011.pdf.
In the state-by-state listing of SMI and 60 percent of SMI for a
four-person family for FFY 2014, LIHEAP grantees must regard ``family''
to be the equivalent of ``household'' with regards to setting their
income eligibility criteria. This listing describes the method for
adjusting SMI for households of different sizes, as specified in
regulations applicable to LIHEAP (45 CFR 96.85(b)). These regulations
were published in the Federal Register on March 3, 1988, (53 FR 6827)
and amended on October 15, 1999 (64 FR 55858).

Note: FFY 2014 covers the period of October 1, 2013, through September
30, 2014. The estimated median income for four-person families living
in the United States for this period is $75,845. Grantees that use SMI
for LIHEAP may, at their option, employ such estimates at any time
between the date of this publication and the later of October 1, 2013,
or the beginning of their fiscal years.

\1\ These figures were prepared by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S.
Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), from 3-year estimates from the
2009, 2010, and 2011 American Community Surveys (ACSs). These
estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject to two
types of error: (1) Non-sampling Error, which consists of random
errors that increase the variability of the data and non-random errors
that consistently direct the data in a specific direction; and (2)
Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from the use
of probability sampling to create the sample.
\2\ These figures were calculated by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of
Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance by multiplying the
estimated state median income for a four-person family for each state
by 60 percent.
\3\ To adjust for different sizes of households for LIHEAP purposes, 45
CFR 96.85 calls for multiplying 60 percent of a state's estimated
median income for a four-person family by the following percentages:
52 percent for a one-person household, 68 percent for a two-person
household, 84 percent for a three-person household, 100 percent for a
four-person household, 116 percent for a five-person household, and
132 percent for a six-person household. For each additional household
member above six people, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for adding 3 percentage
points to the percentage for a six-person household (132 percent) and
multiply the new percentage by 60 percent of the median income for a
four-person family.
