Thanks to our eagle-eyed friend Rebecca in West Virginia, we’ve just learned that HHS has released the official poverty guidelines for 2021. You can find them at: https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines

For those in the contiguous U.S., the level is:

1 person	$12,880
2 people	$17,420

For Alaska:

1	$16,090
2	$21,770

And Hawaii:

1	$14,820
2	$20,040

NCOA will be updating our LIS & MSP fact sheets and other materials to reflect these figures and the new eligibility criteria in the coming weeks.
