SUBJECT:             2011 Federal Poverty Guidelines

1.      Purpose. To issue the revised Federal poverty guidelines for the Senior
        Community Service Employment Program.

2.      References. Section 518(a) (3) (A) of the Older Americans Act (OAA)
        Amendments of 2006, Public Law 109-365.

3.      Background. The Department of Health and Human Services published the
        updated Federal Guidelines for 2011 on January 20, 2011. These guidelines
        provide the basis for determining the income eligibility of SCSEP applicants
        and enrollees after being multiplied by 125% to convert poverty to “low-
        income” as defined at Section 518(a)(3)(A) of the 2006 Amendments to the
        OAA.

4.      Directive. The Federal poverty guidelines found in the attachment are
        effective from the date they were published in the Federal Register on
        January 20, 2011 (76 FR 13). Grantees should use this effective date for
        program operations.

5.      Action Requested. Grantees must use the attached poverty and low-income
        guidelines when determining or recertifying SCSEP participant eligibility.
