value of meals or milk to children shall
not be considered as income to their
households for other benefit programs
in accordance with the prohibitions in
section 12(e) of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act and section
11(b) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966
(42 U.S.C. 1760(e) and 1780(b)).
The Income Eligibility Guidelines
The following are the Income
Eligibility Guidelines to be effective
from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
The Department’s guidelines for free
meals and milk and reduced price meals
were obtained by multiplying the year
2015 Federal income poverty guidelines
by 1.30 and 1.85, respectively, and by
rounding the result upward to the next
whole dollar.
This notice displays only the annual
Federal poverty guidelines issued by the
Department of Health and Human
Services because the monthly and
weekly Federal poverty guidelines are
not used to determine the Income
Eligibility Guidelines. The chart details
the free and reduced price eligibility
criteria for monthly income, income
received twice monthly (24 payments
per year), income received every two
weeks (26 payments per year) and
weekly income.
Income calculations are made based
on the following formulas: Monthly
income is calculated by dividing the
annual income by 12; twice monthly
income is computed by dividing annual
income by 24; income received every
two weeks is calculated by dividing
annual income by 26; and weekly
income is computed by dividing annual
income by 52. All numbers are rounded
upward to the next whole dollar. The
numbers reflected in this notice for a
family of four in the 48 contiguous
States, the District of Columbia, Guam
and the territories represent an increase
of 1.7 percent over last year’s level for
a family of the same size. The income
eligibility guidelines table follows
below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866
This notice is exempt from review by
the Office of Management and Budget
under Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This action is not a rule as defined by
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601–612) and thus is exempt from the
provisions of this Act.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This notice does not contain reporting
or recordkeeping requirements subject
to approval by the Office of
Management and Budget in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
Executive Order 12372
This program is listed in the Catalog
of Federal Domestic Assistance
Programs under No. 10.557, and is
subject to the provisions of Executive
Order 12372, which requires
intergovernmental consultation with
State and local officials (7 CFR part
3015, subpart V, 48 FR 29100, June 24,
1983, and 49 FR 22675, May 31, 1984).
Description
Section 17(d)(2)(A) of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1786(d)(2)(A)), requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to establish
income criteria to be used with
nutritional risk criteria in determining a
person’s eligibility for participation in
the WIC Program. The law provides that
persons will be income-eligible for the
WIC Program only if they are members
of families that satisfy the income
standard prescribed for reduced-price
school meals under section 9(b) of the
Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)). Under
section 9(b), the income limit for
reduced-price school meals is 185
percent of the Federal poverty
guidelines, as adjusted. Section 9(b) also
requires that these guidelines be revised
annually to reflect changes in the
Consumer Price Index. The annual
revision for 2015/2016 was published
by the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) at 80 FR 3236, January
22, 2015. The guidelines published by
HHS are referred to as the ‘‘poverty
guidelines.’’
Section 246.7(d)(1) of the WIC
regulations (Title 7, Code of Federal
Regulations) specifies that State
agencies may prescribe income
guidelines either equaling the income
guidelines established under section 9
of the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act for reduced-price
school meals, or identical to State or
local guidelines for free or reducedprice health care. However, in
conforming WIC income guidelines to
State or local health care guidelines, the
State cannot establish WIC guidelines
which exceed the guidelines for
reduced-price school meals, or which
are less than 100 percent of the Federal
poverty guidelines. Consistent with the
method used to compute income
eligibility guidelines for reduced-price
meals under the National School Lunch
Program, the poverty guidelines were
multiplied by 1.85 and the results
rounded upward to the next whole
dollar. At this time, the Department is
publishing the maximum and minimum
WIC income eligibility guidelines by
household size for the period July 1,
2015, through June 30, 2016. Consistent
with section 17(f)(17) of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1786(f)(17)), a State agency may
implement the revised WIC income
eligibility guidelines concurrently with
the implementation of income eligibility
guidelines under the Medicaid Program
established under Title XIX of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396, et seq.).
State agencies may coordinate
implementation with the revised
Medicaid guidelines, i.e., earlier in the
year, but in no case may
implementation take place later than
July 1, 2015.
State agencies that do not coordinate
implementation with the revised
Medicaid guidelines must implement
the WIC income eligibility guidelines on
July 1, 2015. The first table of this
Notice contains the income limits by
household size for the 48 contiguous
States, the District of Columbia, and all
Territories, including Guam.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866
This notice is exempt from review by the Office of Management and
Budget under Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) and thus is exempt from the provisions of this
Act.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This notice does not contain reporting or recordkeeping
requirements subject to approval by the Office of Management and Budget
in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3507).
Executive Order 12372
This program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance Programs under No. 10.557, and is subject to the provisions
of Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation
with State and local officials (7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, 48 FR
29100, June 24, 1983, and 49 FR 22675, May 31, 1984).
Description
Section 17(d)(2)(A) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 1786(d)(2)(A)), requires the Secretary of Agriculture to
establish income criteria to be used with nutritional risk criteria in
determining a person's eligibility for participation in the WIC
Program. The law provides that persons will be income-eligible for the
WIC Program only if they are members of families that satisfy the
income standard prescribed for reduced-price school meals under section
9(b) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C.
1758(b)). Under section 9(b), the income limit for reduced-price school
meals is 185 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines, as adjusted.
Section 9(b) also requires that these guidelines be revised annually to
reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index. The annual revision for
2015/2016 was published by the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) at 80 FR 3236, January 22, 2015. The guidelines published by HHS
are referred to as the ``poverty guidelines.''
Section 246.7(d)(1) of the WIC regulations (Title 7, Code of
Federal Regulations) specifies that State agencies may prescribe income
guidelines either equaling the income guidelines established under
section 9 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act for
reduced-price school meals, or identical to State or local guidelines
for free or reduced-price health care. However, in conforming WIC
income guidelines to State or local health care guidelines, the State
cannot establish WIC guidelines which exceed the guidelines for
reduced-price school meals, or which are less than 100 percent of the
Federal poverty guidelines. Consistent with the method used to compute
income eligibility guidelines for reduced-price meals under the
National School Lunch Program, the poverty guidelines were multiplied
by 1.85 and the results rounded upward to the next whole dollar. At
this time, the Department is publishing the maximum and minimum WIC
income eligibility guidelines by household size for the period July 1,
2015, through June 30, 2016. Consistent with section 17(f)(17) of the
Child Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1786(f)(17)), a
State agency may implement the revised WIC income eligibility
guidelines concurrently with the implementation of income eligibility
guidelines under the Medicaid Program established under Title XIX of
the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396, et seq.). State agencies may
coordinate implementation with the revised Medicaid guidelines, i.e.,
earlier in the year, but in no case may implementation take place later
than July 1, 2015.
State agencies that do not coordinate implementation with the
revised Medicaid guidelines must implement the WIC income eligibility
guidelines on July 1, 2015. The first table of this Notice contains the
income limits by household size for the 48 contiguous States, the
District of Columbia, and all Territories, including Guam.
