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
to individuals from disadvantaged
backgrounds. These various programs
are authorized in titles III, VII, and VIII
of the Public Health Service Act. HHS
periodically publishes in the Federal
Register low-income levels to be used
by institutions receiving grants or
cooperative agreement awards to
determine eligibility for programs
providing training for disadvantaged
individuals, individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds, or
individuals from low-income families.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Many
health professions and nursing grant
and cooperative agreement awardees
use the low-income levels to determine
whether potential program participants
are from economically disadvantaged
backgrounds and would be eligible to
participate in the program, as well as to
determine the amount of funding the
individual receives. Awards are
generally made to accredited schools of
medicine, osteopathic medicine, public
health, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing,
and allied health; public or private
nonprofit schools which offer graduate
programs in behavioral health and
mental health practice; and, other
public or private nonprofit health or
educational entities to assist individuals
from disadvantaged backgrounds and
disadvantaged students to enter and
graduate from health professions and
nursing schools. Some programs
provide for the repayment of health
professions or nursing education loans
for students from disadvantaged

backgrounds and disadvantaged
students.
A low-income family/household for
programs included in titles III, VII, and
VIII of the Public Health Service Act is
defined as having an annual income that
does not exceed 200 percent of HHS’s
poverty guidelines. A family is a group
of two or more individuals related by
birth, marriage, or adoption who live
together.
Most HRSA programs use the income
of a student’s parent(s) to compute lowincome status. However, a household
may potentially be only one person.
Other HRSA programs, depending upon
the legislative intent of the program, the
programmatic purpose related to income
level, as well as the age and
circumstances of the participant, apply
these low-income standards to the
individual student to determine
eligibility, if the student is not listed as
a dependent on the tax form of his or
her parent(s). Each program announces
the rationale and methodology for
determining low-income levels in
program funding opportunities or
applications.
Low-income levels are adjusted
annually based on HHS’s poverty
guidelines. HHS’s poverty guidelines
are based on poverty thresholds
published by the U.S. Census Bureau,
adjusted annually for changes in the
Consumer Price Index. The income
figures below have been updated to
reflect HHS’s 2024 poverty guidelines as
published in the Federal Register at 89
FR 2961 (Jan. 11, 2024).
