ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 06:41 Apr 20, 2024 Jkt 262001 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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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). E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1
