The 2018 Federal Poverty Guidelines are listed below. Below that you will find guidance for CCDF Tribal Grantees who manually calculate the ACF-700 Annual Tribal Report (Part 1). For Element #7, use the family’s income and size (used for determining eligibility) to determine the poverty threshold in which to count the children in that family. Information is provided for the 48 Contiguous States and DC, as well as for Alaska and Hawaii.
