Common Questions

What is the Federal Poverty Level?

For 2026, the FPL for a household of 1 is approximately $15,060 annually. Most benefit programs set their cutoffs as a multiple of this number (e.g., 138% for Medicaid = ~$20,783).

How often must I reverify income?

Most programs require annual income recertification. Some, like SNAP, may require more frequent reporting if your income changes.
