Prior HHS Poverty Guidelines and Federal Register
References
Poverty guidelines since 1982 for the 48 contiguous states and the
District of Columbia can be calculated by addition using the figures
shown below. (This simple calculation procedure gives correct
guideline figures for each year, but it is not identical to the
procedure by which the poverty guidelines are generated from the
poverty thresholds each year; see an example calculation.) Before
1982, the poverty guidelines were issued by the Office of Economic
Opportunity/Community Services Administration.

1. Note that 1999 and 2000 poverty guidelines figures should
NOT
be used in connection with determining poverty population figures
from 2000 Decennial Census data. Poverty population figures are
calculated using the Census Bureau poverty thresholds, not the
poverty guidelines.
2. Note that 1989 and 1990 poverty guidelines figures should
NOT
be used in connection with determining poverty population figures
from 1990 Decennial Census data. Poverty population figures are
calculated using the Census Bureau poverty thresholds, not the
poverty guidelines.
3. Figures for nonfarm families only.

For a table showing the poverty guidelines for all family sizes
back to 1965, see Table 3.E8 in the most recent Annual Statistical
Supplement of the Social Security Bulletin. This table is also
available on the Social Security Administration's Web site at
http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/supplement/2002/3e.pdf; to
access this table, one needs the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat
Reader, which is available at www.adobe.com.
