*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.

I will turn my electricity off before I ask these RUDE people for help again. The woman that just called me KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT ME OR MY LIVING CONDITIONS AND PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS!
George, Nick and Brent came to my home to perform several tasks. Please enter compliments to them for jobs well done. They were nice, clean, considerate, and professional in their work and mannerisms. Thank you. Betsy.
