SUBJECT:       2008 Federal Poverty Guidelines

   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 23, 2008
   (73 FR 3971). Grantees must use this effective date for program operations.

   guidelines when determining or recertifying SCSEP participant eligibility.
