2009 Federal Poverty Guidelines


The 2009 Federal Poverty Guidelines have been released to the Federal Register. These guidelines help determine eligibility for a great number of programs. The Access Project Update #2 will cover this topic, once again demonstrating real examples of how this information has led to people accessing the treatment and care ( and lots of other things) they need. The Department of Health and Human Services has a description of all the different programs that depend on these guidelines, and exactly what the Federal Poverty Guidelines are.
