Legal Services Corporation.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Legal Services
Corporation (LSC) is required by law to
establish maximum income levels for
individuals eligible for legal assistance.
This document updates the specified
income levels to reflect the annual
amendments to the Federal Poverty
Guidelines issued by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
SUMMARY:
DATES:
Effective January 23, 2018.

Stefanie K. Davis, Assistant General
Counsel, Legal Services Corporation,
3333 K St. NW, Washington, DC 20007;

Section
1007(a)(2) of the Legal Services
Corporation Act (Act), 42 U.S.C.
2996f(a)(2), requires LSC to establish
maximum income levels for individuals
eligible for legal assistance. Section
1611.3(c) of LSC’s regulations
establishes a maximum income level
equivalent to 125% of the Federal
Poverty Guidelines (Guidelines), which
HHS is responsible for updating and
issuing. 45 CFR 1611.3(c).
Each year, LSC updates Appendix A
to 45 CFR part 1611 to provide client
income eligibility standards based on
the most recent Guidelines. The figures
for 2018, set out below, are equivalent
to 125% of the Guidelines published by
HHS on January 18, 2018, 83 FR 2642.
In addition, LSC is publishing a chart
listing income levels that are 200% of
the Guidelines. This chart is for
reference purposes only as an aid to
recipients in assessing the financial
eligibility of an applicant whose income
is greater than 125% of the applicable
Guidelines amount, but less than 200%
of the applicable Guidelines amount
(and who may be found to be financially
eligible under duly adopted exceptions
to the annual income ceiling in
accordance with 45 CFR 1611.3, 1611.4,
and 1611.5).
Except where there are minor
variances due to rounding, the amount
by which the guideline increases for
each additional member of the
household is a consistent amount.

based on the best available scientific

that an eastern puma population could

under the authority of the Endangered
