Español

To qualify for some programs, such as free legal aid, court fee waivers, and public benefits, you might need a household income lower than a certain percentage of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. These guidelines depend on how much money your household makes before taxes, and how many people live in your house. You can find out if your household qualifies by checking out these charts, based on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services federal poverty guidelines.
