Poverty Guideline

[metro420 1]

Hi guys,

I am a bit confuse with the computation RE: the Poverty Guidelines! I know it should be 125% above the poverty level/guideline. In the chart I saw, it should be $14,570 for 2 household, and the 125% percentage of this one is $18,212. My question is, the requirement should be at least $18,212 or the total of $14,570 plus $18,212 which is $32,782?

Any comments or reactions will be appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Otto and Karin,

And that should be for 2009 right? How about the amount for 2006 - 2008?

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the link Arabella (nice name btw).

I am asking the 2006-2008 as I thought I need the figures to match with my husband's tax transcripts, am I correct? Or it just matter on this year's poverty guideline?
