Help CenterIssued by the Department of Health and Human Services, poverty guidelines are a simplified version of federal poverty thresholds used for administrative purposes like determining financial aid eligibility.
ADEA sets the FAP eligibility at 300% of the federal poverty level, recognizing that the official 100% poverty level may not accurately reflect financial need.
