SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 673(2) of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1981 (42
U.S.C. 9902(2)) requires the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human
Services to update the poverty
guidelines at least annually, adjusting
them on the basis of the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U).
The poverty guidelines are used as an
eligibility criterion by Medicaid and a
number of other Federal programs. The
poverty guidelines issued here are a
simplified version of the poverty
thresholds that the Census Bureau uses
to prepare its estimates of the number of
individuals and families in poverty.
As required by law, this update is
accomplished by increasing the latest
published Census Bureau poverty
thresholds by the relevant percentage
change in the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI–U). The
guidelines in this 2022 notice reflect the
4.7 percent price increase between
calendar years 2020 and 2021. After this
inflation adjustment, the guidelines are
rounded and adjusted to standardize the
differences between family sizes. In rare
circumstances, the rounding and
standardizing adjustments in the
formula result in small decreases in the
poverty guidelines for some household
sizes even when the inflation factor is
not negative. In cases where the year-toyear change in inflation is not negative
and the rounding and standardizing
adjustments in the formula result in
reductions to the guidelines from the
previous year for some household sizes,
the guidelines for the affected
household sizes are fixed at the prior
year’s guidelines. As in prior years,
these 2022 guidelines are roughly equal
to the poverty thresholds for calendar
year 2021, which the Census Bureau
expects to publish in final form in
September 2022.
The poverty guidelines continue to be
derived from the Census Bureau’s
current official poverty thresholds; they
are not derived from the Census
Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure
(SPM).
The following guideline figures
represent annual income.
