    ​Federal Poverty Income Guidelines

    Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (FPIG) are figures issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and are used to establish eligibility for a variety, but not all, public assistance programs.

    These figures are revised annually based on changes in the Customer Price Index. FPIG percentages used for various programs are as follows:

    CHIP Income Guidelines
    SNAP Income Guidelines
    HealthChoices Income Guidelines
    Other Percentages for Income Guidelines
