What does Federal Poverty Level (FPL) mean?

An income guideline used in eligibility rules for Marketplace savings and other programs.

Illustration — not a plan price

Use the guideline year and household size specified by the official program; a shorthand income figure is not an eligibility decision.

The actual plan document controls. Verify its definitions, network, exclusions, dates, and amounts before relying on the illustration.

Definitions here are never for sale — no plan is recommended on a comprehension page.
